    Yeah, I could, I just don't use USB enough. My suspend script is now stripped
    down to the point where the only thing I do is run dhclient afterwards (and
    that's mostly because it seems to be too stupid to notice the timeout's
    elapsed. Persumably it should have some kind of trigger if the wireless
    access point toggles...)

    It's just that a hot-pluggable bus, it should be possible to convince the
    thing to reprobe all devices on a bus reset. Oh well.

    Maybe a todo item for 2.7...
