No wireless after resuming from suspend?

Ethernet works fine after system is rebooted

The onboard card is seen in 'lspci' as:

43:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Yukon Optima 88E8059 [PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Controller with AVB] (rev 11)

After system being suspended the sky2 driver loads but does not enable the NIC. I have noticed that it happens when PC is left suspended for longer period of time (few houres)

Trying to reproduce it I have tried to load the sky2 driver with modprobe sky2. Unfortunately typing ifconfig -a for the onboard ethernet adapter does not list the driver once the sky2 driver is loaded.

I have searched internet and I found some information about a bug in kernel. Hovewer it was reported in 2010 so I hope it has been fixed. Here it is

reloading the driver by using below desn't work.

sudo rmmod sky2

sudo modprobe sky2

I have been playing with it around and noticed that when i plug the network cable in and suspend the system without taking the cable out, after switching the system back on ethernet adapter remains fine and connection is fine. But if I then plug the cable out and suspend the system again it freezes and only reboot is left. There is an information on the screen "panic occured - switching back to text console" but i cannot do anything.

It really looks like there is a bug in the kernel but I don't know what to do with it? How can i reported and to who?
