small dumb win today: fixed a laptop that kept dropping wifi after suspend.

nothing dramatic. not a kernel deep dive. just checked logs, saw the card waking up weird, poked the power save setting, rebooted twice because i did not trust it the first time, and now it behaves.

that is still one of my favorite parts of linux. half the time it makes you work for something windows would hide from you, but when you fix it you actually know what changed.

also Pooch was absolutely no help. laid next to me snoring like he was on-call.
