Wireless failes to reconnect automaticaly after suspend or takes too long to reconnect

[mike hancock]

I am running a dell xps 1330 (pre-installed ubuntu) with Hardy. After a suspend to ram, some times all of the following 3 casses happen

1) network manager does not reconnect to my wifi network at all. network manager says "networking disabled". This case is very uncommon; but it happens some times(like today :( ).

2) network manager connects automatically, but it takes _too_ long to connect; any where from 30 sec to 1.5 min. while waiting it also says "networking disabled" but it eventually it connects.

3) it works as it should and automatically connects

in all of the above cases it works to run
iwconfig essid "networkname"; dhclient eth1

to reconnect, but doing so network manager still shows "networking disabled"(even though it is working!).

since i have upgraded to intrepid beta, I have not had this problem. well at least not as severely as it was in hardy. now only occasionally it takes more then a few seconds to reconnect. i still sometimes see the "networking disabled" thing but it ends up reconnecting much faster them before.

is that iwl drivers? or atheros? we have bug 292054 and bug 263963 ... but the former should fit well i guess.

i mark this of a dupe of the workaround bug on network-manager ... but i empasize that this is a driver issue like in the latter bug i mentioned. or with some luck just "wpasupplicant" issue, which i doubt though.
