That may be the case, but if I couldn't I'd have to reboot after each
suspend. On my iBook, if I want scan/monitor mode, I have to compile
the airport modules separately, and have them inserted at boot (or
when I need them). When I put it to sleep, and then use it again, I
won't be able to use wireless till I remove the module, insert it
again, and restart the service. Just restarting the service won't do
it either.
