Comment 9 for bug 658307

I have the same problem with a Dell Inspiron 2200, with a Proxim Gold Orinoco 11b/g wireless card and ath5k driver.
Normally it resumes in 2..3 seconds, but sometimes (~1 in 10) it takes up to 4 minutes.

During this time the screen is black (except for a text cursor in the upper left corner), the hard drive light is off and it does not respond to the keyboard.

I find the following backtrace in the kernel messages:
