[PLUG] Fwd: lockup

[Nat Taylor]

Do you think it could have something to do with trying to go to sleep or
and then having some sort of problem with the wifi driver?  I've seen that
and the solution is to have the wireless driver disabled before sleep?  I
think power management is always a good place to start looking when a
laptop locks up.  Upstart takes care of stuff while going to sleep on
Ubuntu:
