Hopefully with a better format now:


Dear fedora users,

I spend several hours on finding information about the following incident:

0. I can brows the internet on my fc17 guest using "VirtualBox v4.2.4 r81684"
1. on linux host I "Save the machine state" of fc17 guest

2. next day I restore fc17 guest
3. incident: NetworkManager applet cannot enable activated interface p2p1 automatically
4.
 further investigation shows that using "/etc/init.d/network status" 
hangs with command "/sbin/ip -o link show up"; also activation of 
network via "systemctl restart NetworkManager.service" results in 
"failed"

How reproducible:

# service network status

Actual 
results:

Configured devices:
lo Wired_connection_1 p2p1
Currently active devices:

Expected results:

Configured devices:
lo Wired_connection_1 
p2p1
Currently active devices:
lo p2p1

This looks similar to bug 
"Bug 215074 - "/etc/init.d/network status" doesn't show active devices; 
loopback goes away on APM suspend/resume". But this bug is already 
closed. Maybe this needs to be reopened?

What do you recomend as a workaround because I would like to use the "Save the machine state" mode regularly?

Thanks!

Dan
