Comment 293 for bug 446146

In regards to comment #291. I actually have found the e169 to work. Yesterday after I upgraded to 2.6.31-15. I was so shocked as I had tested it after the upgrade and a couple of boots. My friend just plugged it in and it worked. It got a bad connection and I reconnected it. It worked. Then strangely something else that has not worked also worked. The laptop battery ran flat and it went into hibernation - and I was able to wake it up again successfully. It hasn't done that since I upgraded to Karmic. It won't do it though unless I've used the e169 during that session. If I haven't used the e169, it won't wake up from hibernation.

Possibly a bit of useless info, but strange correlation. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 1501.
