Public bug reported:

I've got a Compaq Presario M2000 with a BCM43xx wireless card. I've got the card working with wpa_supplicant, however, if I hibernate the computer, when I return from hibernation, the wireless connection does not return.
If I run /etc/init.d/networking restart, it hangs the laptop
If I kill wpa_supplicant and restart it manually, it hangs the laptop.
If I kill wpa_supplicant, unload bcm43xx and reload bcm43xx, wpa_supplicant seems to start automatically (not sure how - though I didn't verify that the kill command had stopped it in the first place) and wireless networking works again.

I extracted the firmware for the card from wl_apsta.o, obtained from here

(as advised by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper)

(I'm running Kubuntu)
