By request of Peter Whittaker, who asked me to also comment the
following here:

I have an HP laptop myself, where this is needed (but doesn't fix this 
completely though, needs some more work here and there)
I do also need (both for suspend and hibernation) to unload the ipw3945
driver etc.

Anyway, there are lots of resources out there which state this clearly,
lots of people experience this:

Generally speaking it's mostly an issue on HP notebooks (and some say
X60s thinkpads), is my understanding...

But there are more drivers known to cause problems on some systems and
unloading them is generally unharmful, so IMHO if either psmouse or
ipw3945 are loaded, they should be unloaded and reloaded upon resume.
