Hi Rob
This is a known bug in the ipw2100 driver it's fixed in version 1.0.3 but the
most recent version of the ipw2100-source package in debian unstable is 1.0.2
at the moment. You can get a more recent version from
http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/
As a workaround I rmmod the ipw2100 modules and then modprobe it again after
rewaking my machine.
All the best,
Sean
