Comment 22 for bug 1007924

Can we PLEASE get this resolved very soonish, in an important LTS version, of all things holy?

It took me ages (~1h) to figure out the exact reason for use of an illegal(!!) stale dhclient DHCP lease IP after suspend / resume / hibernate via Internet research (which keywords would YOU use to discover sufficiently relevant topics? they all seem to fail...),
and according to my log that is exactly the problem here on 12.04LTS:

(as currently executed by /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55NetworkManager of pm-utils 1.4.1-9fix.ubuntu12.04)
# dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "sleep" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" doesn't exist

(corrected syntax as suggested by this report, working!)
# dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Sleep boolean:true
method return sender=:1.5 -> dest=:1.972 reply_serial=2

# dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Sleep boolean:false

This report of a CRUCIAL suspend/resume breakage bug (my usual keyword for such annoyingly frequent cases: "YASB") on a LONG-TERM-SUPPORT distro is now more than THREE years old (fdo report), with a confirmed working solution that is now 1.5 YEARS old. Please do (or communicate some suggestions) what is necessary to finally have this high-profile illegal-behaviour SHOW-STOPPER bug get resolved. Thank you. [I somehow hate having to spell things out that clearly, but... anyway, please accept my apologies]
