I'm not sure how NetworkManager works exactly.  I think it might
actually be taking it down and bringing it back up again.  I've CCd Dan
Williams since he'll know what's happening here.

Yes, it works if I don't use NetworkManager.

Oh, I stupidly only tried gnome-power-manager's Suspend.  Closing the
lid works great.  Coming out of sleep, the driver is set back at 54M so
I have to manually reset back to 11M.

Is this auto-rate switching issue something that needs to be further
reverse-engineered or is it just something in the kernel driver (or
something wonky in my case)?
