Installed Windows XP SP2 on a Toshiba Tecra laptop.

I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse and a Linksys Wireless Network Adaptor
connected by USB.

Everything is fine, until the laptop hibernates. On restore, the mouse and
wireless network are not available, in fact, the mouse will not even glow
its usual red color.

There are three workarounds:

1. Unplug the wireless network and mouse. Plug them back in, hardware is
discovered as new, and they start working again.
2. Reboot the computer and they will be discovered and work.
3. Turn off hibernation, so computer never goes into a power management
state that looses the devices.

Is anyone else seeing this. This never happened till SP2, now it happens all
the time.
