hi

I use KDE 4.4 and openSUSE 11.2 on an eee PC netbook. 
Yesterday I suspended yesterday the netbook to RAM and turned it after two 
hours or so on again and then my wlan0 device was gone. Later I found out that 
it was disabled in the BIOS and after I enabled it again it worked. 
Does anyone have an idea how that could be, that it disables Wireless in the 
BIOS just by suspending the computer to RAM?

I also checked the NetworkManager logs and they didn't show anything special 
except this few lines (this is from the moment when I suspended the computer 
to RAM):

The funny thing is, that after I turned the netbook on again the wlan0 device 
didn't show up in the logs anymore.

That was the first time this happened to me, it is just a bit weird to me.
