Uhhh.. that would be me (the ipw2200, that is). :)

I think I tried this a couple of times before. As I recall, it made the 
problem even worse (although going from "not working" to "still not 
working" isn't necessarily worse, I mean "worse" in that, upon reloading 
the bluetooth drivers, the no longer saw any BT hardware... either that 
or kbluetoothd saw even less of the kernel BT services). I'll try it 
next time it flips out and make a note of exactly what happens.

When this first happened, I tried adding
 OnSuspend 20 /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
 OnResume 20 /etc/init.d/bluetooth start

to /etc/hibernate/common.conf and that really pissed off kbluetoothd. I 
guess I could also kill kbluetoothd upon hibernate, but I was just 
hoping that there was an easier way to fix all of this before I went 
down that road. I'm pretty sure that I came across something in 
hibernate's conf that basically says "upon resume, start this... but 
only if you killed it before a sleep". I'll have to track that command 
down again.

Okay... I'll try that.
