Hi Nelson,
thank you very much for your comment/support. I just added my complete log above.

Indeed, I experienced the same bug on 12.10, in my case again after the first suspend-operation that worked as in 13.04 like a charm. But from the second time on, no possibility to get into suspend-mode, neither in 12.10, nor in 13.04. I tried each and every terminal-command I could find on the net, without any positive effect. Thus I hope a fix will be incorporated in the final version of 13.04.

The thing is that I buyed the Asus X201e exactly for the reason that Ubuntu [12.04 LTS] was preinstalled on it and that I presumed maximum compatibility. But 12.04 LTS hat the same bug as 12.10, notably that after suspend [no matter if it worked like in 12.04 or not as in 12.10], I was no longer able to reconnect to my WIFI. That's why I made an upgrade to 12.10 and then 13.04 [in both cases full re-installations from USB with the respective the 64bit-versions].

Sadly, I got minimum compatibility, as ASUS seems to have used a special version with their own drivers no one can find on the net. I contacted their technical "support" twice, and they even admitted that they had "no experience" with Ubuntu and could not help me or send me a driver-package or ISO-link!!!

And what ASUS hosts in the following repository [or any other - I tried them all] is no help as well:

deb http://asus.archive.canonical.com/updates precise-annan public

Ergo, my final hope lies in the Ubuntu-community.

Best,
Alex
