Yes,and why didn't I find this myself?  It didn't work for me initially
because I didn't have the iproute package installed (which provides the
ip command), but once I installed that, I was indeed able to use the
ifup script again.  This is great; thank you.

It does not yet help with the suspend/resume problem, however, and that
problem does seem to be specific to the iwl3945 driver, since the wired
interface shows no such problem.

Thanks a lot for all your help.
