Linux suspend vs ipw2200

Just a small note for posterity: if you're having trouble with suspend to ram or hibernate (I'm using swsusp2 and used to get lockups during the suspend or resume cycle), and your machine has an ipw2200 wireless adapter, make sure your hardware radio kill switch is not on when you suspend.
ie, if you get messages like this:
Sep 5 09:12:56 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Radio Frequency Kill
Switch is On:
Sep 5 09:12:56 localhost kernel: Kill switch must be turned off for wireless
networking to work.
turn on the radio before suspend. ipw2200 gets stuck trying to initialise
the radio and will hang during suspend otherwise (driver version 1.0.6). On my
laptop, I do this with echo on >
/proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
