[SOLVED] Wireless fails after suspending (Realtek 8192se)

This problem is already solved on the first post: I spent so long trying to solve it that I thought people should know the solution.

I have a Lenovo X100e with a Realtek 8192SE wireless card.  I'm running kernel 3.0.  The machine has, since upgrading to the 3.0 kernel had the annoying problem of failing wireless connections after suspending: I'll have a running wireless connection, then suspend the machine, and then wake the machine up and the machine cannot connect to any wireless network (perhaps the same one I was connected to before, in the same place). 

Things that did not work:

  • Installing the Realtek drivers from their website

  • Downgrading the kernel from 3.1 to 3.0

  • Using wicd instead of networkmanager

  • Walking around

  • Other distributions

The solution was to put an entry in /etc/pm/config.d/config:

SUSPEND_MODULES="rtl8192se rtlwifi mac80211 cfg80211"

Now the machine reconnects with no problems.

This may be the solution to the other big problem I was having with the 3.1 kernel: I would suspend the machine by any means and the screen goes black and the machine becomes non-responsive without actually suspending.  I may try upgrading to the 3.1 kernel and adding radeon to the SUSPEND_MODULES list above.
