This ifdown/ifup is unrequired with nicely behaved modules (eg ipw2200), as
they can sustain a link via wpasupplicant during suspend/resume cycle.

In my understanding, such a workaround was discussed in #383907 (though maybe
not as complete as you refer to), and the basis behind that was already made
so. I never did hear back from Reinhard about that. As I use powersaved to
take care of this stuff, it makes me less familiar with how acpi-support
operates.
Reinhard, comment on this one?
Thanks, Kel.
