Now using kernel 2157 this wireless disappearing during Gnome sessions can be avoided by using kernel parameter "acpi=off". I wonder what changed since earlier kernels, such as 2133. So I can now use everything except acpi features. It seems that it wont even poweroff any more. All pretty sad on a laptop. I believe there was a suggestion that there might be a way to overcome this (BIOS) shortcoming. But I don't know how. Thanks to the clever people who have helped during this problem.
