Comment(by pgf):

 i think i understand my issue, though it may or may not be "expected".  if
 the machine goes out of range of an AP, at least while suspended, it will
 not reassociate when it comes back in range of that AP.  (with NM not
 running.)  with NM running, it seems to reconnect, though it takes a
 surprising amount of time (minutes?).

 we should probably make sure "AP goes out of range" is in our test plan.
 on a former project i was involved with, reassociation was sometimes
 problematic in that case.  (and it was with marvell h/w.)
