Hmm.  This is certainly different than what I've got in my suspend script on
FC3:

/usr/bin/dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \
  --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager \
  org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep

So, why are you sending a signal whereas I've got a method_call (see previous
threads on this list)?  I can't find --reply-timeout in the manpage; perhaps I
should at least add --print-reply.

Good to know.  I've had a few cases where the 'wake' didn't actually scan and
attach properly, and just went into an endless loop of 'waiting for AP'.
