At it's core NM is just a daemon. The gnome/kde stuff are just |
| 9 |
front-ends that talk to the daemon via dbus when need-be. So likely it |
| 10 |
"appears" faster when you boot because the NetworkManager service is |
| 11 |
already started and connecting to your AP before you even see X come up. |
| 12 |
When you resume, all that other machinery is already up, so you are |
| 13 |
waiting on the card and the AP to associate. |

I personally haven't experienced the problem, but even if I did, I |
| 24 |
wouldn't think that gnome/nm/suspend would be the fault. |

Question: have you tried associateting with the AP manually? How long |
| 27 |
does that take? Have you tried associating with other APs? |

Should not take too long unless you have a very slow connection... it's |
| 40 |
a 306K file (took me less than 1 second to wget). It's uses the H.264 |
| 41 |
video codec so I'm guessing you don't have that. |

Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 here. I guess mine's not |
| 56 |
"Advanced" but it's fast :D. I'm on the 3.2 rc's but don't recall any |
| 57 |
issues in the 3.1 days... I'm using a different firmware though.. the |
| 58 |
iwlwifi.. but maybe it's because my card is different. |
