   Dear Fedorians,
                   I am using F20 gnome on my laptop, and have great 
suspend/resume
as I wander from meeting to meeting in different rooms. Except for the 
wireless.
Maybe 1 time in 3 or 50-50 the wireless fails to connect on resume - it 
just loops.
It is easily fixed: I disable the wireless either in software or 
hardware and re-enable
and it works 100%.  So it seems something is not optimal in the wireless 
recovery.

I compare /var/log/mesages from good and bad sessions, and I find for a 
resume session:

  NetworkManager[1801]: <info> (wlp2s0): supplicant interface state: 
disconnected -> inactive
NetworkManager[1801]: <info> (wlp2s0): supplicant interface state: 
inactive -> scanning
  wlp2s0: authenticate with XXX.YY....
  wlp2s0: direct probe to XXX.YY.. (try 1/3)
This then goes into an authenticate -> disconnect loop

while for a good session where I switch off wireless in NM and on again:

NetworkManager[1801]: <info> (wlp2s0): supplicant interface state: 
inactive -> scanning
  wlp2s0: authenticate with XXX.YY....
  wlp2s0: send auth to to XXX.YY.. (try 1/3)
this goes on to connect just fine.

Any ideas what is wrong with my suspended session? It would be nice to 
be able to open
my laptop and have it just work....
     Thanks for your ideas!
          Bill
