Comment:

 I think we need to reset NM 0.6 in order to make this reasonable, or else
 people will find that "resetting their network" doesn't always work.

 I believe that cjb has code in OHM to ask NM to stop NM (before suspend)
 and later restart it (after wakeup).  My guess would be that would be
 sufficient.  The NetworkManager-gnome interface has an "Enable Networking"
 checkbox which does the same thing.  So: disable networking, remove
 networks.cfg, re-enable networking.  That should be sufficient to avoid
 the problems Morgan pointed out.
