this is the same issue as explained in RedHat bug #589108 (linked):

 - when you suspend, network manager disables networking (otherwise there may problem suspending, at least as I understand it).
- Unfortunately it uses the same flag as what the user interface is using to disable networking when requested by the user.
- When the system loads after a failed resume, the flag stays on and Network Manager does not distinguish between "user asked us to stay off, so we'll stay off until the user says otherwise" and "we needed to go off for suspend, but resume failed and we need to enable networking".
- This will hopefully get fixed in the near future by adding the required extra flag in network manager for managing the suspend/resume state separately.
