For example, I'm surprised the webcam worked, as I had read negative reports about it on other asus models :-/ I guess you could add a detailed description of the laptop, what works and what doesn’t on a nice webpage.

I wrote a script that rmmod's the wireless card's drivers and then modprobe's them, and that has been able to reliably bring them back up. I manually click it when I come back up to reconnect (with an icon on the panel), but perhaps some event related to sleep could automagically trigger it? The funniest case was when I hibernated for a long trip, and it came back up at my destination, and did not realise I was near a completely different wireless network :) I recently purchased an Acer whose wireless card did not like resuming after suspend.
