Alan,

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Who'd have thought such a simple patch could make someone so happy?

That did the trick. I just tried it and it works beautifully whether
the device remains plugged in during suspend or if it's unplugged and
plugged back in during suspend and before resume.

Now if this could only become the default behavior ;-)

Thanks again,
