    Have you checked for updates to your chipset drivers and/or your BIOS? There are a lot of errata in the chipsets that cause problems with bringing a system out of sleep (many of which involve the wireless card, unfortunately), and the fix, if it's made available, is usually in the form of a chipset driver update or a BIOS update.
