Well, you can supply the first help: what are you running?

I've seen some problems both in -CURRENT and in -STABLE, but they're
related to the exact age of the sources.  It used to work well, but
lately I'm seeing (on a -STABLE of May 4) that the card won't be
recognized after suspend.  I have to reboot to get it to be recognized
again.
