I hate to say it, but that sounds about right.  I get all kinds of weirdness 
when I restart after hibernating, from just a black screen, no wireless, no 
response at all, etc.  It doesn't seem to have a specific pattern on my 
laptop.

The problem Is the only solution I have found is to run the nv driver instead 
of nvidia's Binary drivers.
