    I have a weird problem: When I suspend my AA1, the wlan will not reconnect when the AA1 wakes up. I need to do more research to isolate the conditions, but it appears to happenn consistentlyif I change locations (wlans) that my wifi will not discover the new ssid. The wlan light is on, but itt shows the old ssids (even after a couple of minutes). If I tell it to rescan, I get noo wlans detected.
    Another oddity, that I fear I may have caused by messing with my xfce4-panel settings, is that when I reboot, my lan manager doe not even initialize, unless I hover over the taskbar on the bottom ((I enabled autohide). That is just plain weird.
    Anyone else experience either of these?

    yep it's a known suspend problem...

    I'm in the middle of writing a howto on how to get better (AND FASTER) suspend and power management but left my power cord at a friends place so I'll only be able to post it up tomorrow. hang in there

    Well the second part is solved:
    Apparently, if you have auto-hide enabled, and do not hover over the panel on boot (i.e., you let it hide), the auto-lan never connects.
    I disabled auto-hide, and now the lan is dscovered on every boot.
    weird.
    I await the solution to the dead after suspend problem
