NOTE: I am a total Linux beginner. I have been using Linux for just a few weeks. Please be gentle and explain any basic concepts you may want me to use to possibly solve this problem. There's a good chance I won't know them.
NOTE II: Thanks a lot for any help. It's really appreciated. Here we go.
My wireless network card works fine, at least until I suspend to RAM. After I start up the computer after suspension to RAM, I can no longer detect my wireless card.
Prior to suspend to RAM:

This is my hardware information:
I get this with lshw:
*-network:0

logical name: wlan0
serial: 00:16:44:b8:17:19

logical name: pan0
serial: 96:95:e6:64:9e:ca

I tried to use the networking utility, and got the following result:
ekravets@HAL-9000:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking
Usage: /etc/init.d/networking {start|stop|restart|force-reload}
ekravets@HAL-9000:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking start

[ OK ]
ekravets@HAL-9000:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload
* Reconfiguring network interfaces...
[ OK ]
Strangely enough, in spite of all these being 'OK', I was unable to reconnect. It gave me "State: Disconnected" (and it would not reconnect)
Does anyone have any ideas so that my wireless card works after I resume after suspending to RAM?
Thanks to all of you for any thoughts-- they're really appreciated.
