Good news: The -19 kernel in hardy-proposed fixed Resume from Hibernate
for me (though it is slow, and progress bar looks frozen, it works). Bad
news: Resume from Suspend is still broken for me.

Details of what I did:

I have a Dimension 4700 - BIOS Rev. A10, Atheros-based wireless card
with restricted driver, no restricted ATI driver used.

I removed previous version of -19 kernel and repository as per
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/226279/comments/106

Figured out how to add hardy-proposed repository, (GUI method, but based
on repository listing in
http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showpost.php?s=0d6286ee06bc8596c8a856a2247212e3&p=4846197&postcount=8
), i.e.: System > Administration > Software Sources > [administrator
password] > Third-Party Software tab > Add > deb
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-proposed main restricted universe
multiverse

Let Update Manager update the list of files. Ignored suggested
application updates for now -- wanted to try new kernel first. So:

Applications > Accessories > Terminal > sudo apt-get install linux-
image-2.6.24-19-generic linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic linux-
restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic

Restarted computer.

Selected the -19 kernel in GRUB

Logged into my account and waited for GNOME to finish loading. Wireless
and sound seemed to work this time.

Tried System > Quit > Suspend

Suspended quickly, but pressing Power button on computer to resume resulted in 
a blank screen with a blinking cursor, no keyboard, no mouse, no GUI, no Login. 
I waited a few minutes, but nothing was happening, not even disk activity.
Restarted computer.

Selected the -19 kernel in GRUB

Logged into my account and waited for GNOME to finish loading.

Tried System > Quit > Hibernate

Shut down fairly quickly with a couple of error messages (sorry, they
went by too fast -- are they saved in a log somewhere?).

Pressing Power button on computer to resume resulted in a slow process
to get the splash screen up, the progress bar moved back and forth a bit
and then seemed to freeze, there was still sporadic disk activity, and
then finally the Password prompt for my account came up, and I was able
to log back into the GNOME GUI. It was slower than in Gutsy, and the
frozen progress bar was not reassuring. On the plus side, wireless
networking worked right away after the Resume.

There is definite improvement overall, with at least Hibernate being
possible again. Thanks you very much or all your work on this, and
thanks in advance for looking into the Suspend issue further if
possible.
