Public bug reported: After upgrading to 2.6.31-17 I began having wireless problems. After suspending, wireless would no longer connect. It looks like the phy has been disabled. This was in dmesg: b43-phy0: Radio hardware status changed to DISABLED
...and rfkill list showed: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes The only way I found to re-enable wireless was to boot into BIOS and turn it back on there. I have found a better workaround though. Rebooting into 2.6.31-15 causes the issue to go away. That's why I filed this as a bug against the kernel instead of going to the forums. It seems like this only became a problem sometime after 2.6.31-15.
