Thanks to everyone that has helped me with this problem (Netgear FA311
dies when apm.c's set_power_state() is called to unblank screen, for
instance when an X server exits or the monitor is awakened from
APM-induced sleep). Since everyone has suggested work arounds, I'm going
to assume it isn't worthwhile digging any deeper for causes.
