 Hello,

 I have been testing SVN (build 740) on my HP 2133 and have noticed that
 when I issue a sleep command for my display:

 xset dpms force standby

 ...then resume from standby my wireless stops working.  The dmesg line
 says:

 b43-phy0: Radio hardware status changed to DISABLED

 ...and there is no way to re-enable the wireless radio (I have tried
 unloading and reloading b43, also flicking the physical switch on/off and
 lastly "iwconfig wlan0 txpower off/on" doesn't work to restore the
 connection).

 The funny thing is 0.2.903 doesn't interfere with my wireless.  Something
 must have arisen in SVN to cause this hiccup.

 I would be happy to compile/test anything you need with my HP 2133 to help
 resolve this problem.

 Thanks,
 Len
