I do believe that I saw something while going through the journal errors about the bios... I need to go back and look at it again.
Thank you very much for the reply!Smilie

After a reboot I could get the the wifi interface to go up and down and it was able to reconnect as required in spite of the following errors...

Code:
root@redbrick /home/redbrick: ifdown wlo1
root@redbrick /home/redbrick: ifup wlo1
Error: Connection activation failed.
root@redbrick /home/redbrick: ifdown wlo1
root@redbrick /home/redbrick: ifup wlo1
Error: Timeout 90 sec expired.

So, it definitely looks like a standby process specifically turning off the wifi card and the resume process either cant or doesn't turn it back on...

BTW I did try to change the parameters on the modules and switch the power control to software controlled on; but I could not get the hardware control to turn off...
I now have a file in /etc/modprobe.d that contains those entries so that they are effective every boot.
Code:
root@redbrick /home/redbrick: modprobe rtl8188ee ips=0 swlps=1 hwlps=0
root@redbrick /home/redbrick: modinfo rtl8188ee | grep parm
parm:           swenc:Set to 1 for software crypto (default 0)
parm:           ips:Set to 0 to not use link power save (default 1)
parm:           swlps:Set to 1 to use SW control power save (default 0)
parm:           fwlps:Set to 1 to use FW control power save (default 1)
parm:           msi:Set to 1 to use MSI interrupts mode (default 1)
parm:           debug:Set debug level (0-5) (default 0) (int)
parm:           disable_watchdog:Set to 1 to disable the watchdog (default 0)

I think I will try setting debug to 5 and the MSI parameter to 0 and trying again....

MODINFO(8)						       Linux Module Support							MODINFO(8)

NAME
modinfo - display information about a kernel module SYNOPSIS
modinfo [ options ] <module_file> DESCRIPTION
The modinfo utility examines the object file module_file associated with a kernel module and displays any information that it can glean. OPTIONS -a, --author Display the module's author. -d, --description Display the module's description. -fformat_string, --format format_string Let the user specify an arbitrary format string which can extract values from the ELF section in module_file which contains the mod- ule information. Replacements consist of a percent sign followed by a tag name in curly braces. A tagname of %{filename} is always supported, even if the module has no modinfo section. %{kernel_version} shows the version of the kernel the module was compiled for. %{using_checksums} expands to 1 is the module has versioned symbols and to 0 or <none> otherwise. A tagname of %{parm} is special: the format string line is repeated for each known module parameter (which may be zero times) and %{parm} is then replaced by descriptions of module parameters (one parameter on each repeated line). Alternatively, %a, %d, %l, %n and %p can be used instead of %{author}, %{description}, %{filename}, %{license} and %{parm}, respec- tively. -h, --help Display a summary of options and immediately exit. -l, --license Display the module's license. -n, --filename Display the module's filename. -p, --parameters Display the typed parameters that a module may support. -V, --version Display the version of modinfo. If no options are supplied, the default is filename, description, author, license and parameters. SEE ALSO
