 Here is the recipe:
 {{{
 Turn off WiFi.
 Turn on Power Saving.
 Reboot.
 Switch to the Neighborhood view so you can watch things.
 Wait until it suspends.
 Close the lid.
 Wait a while.
 Open the lid.
 }}}

 I see the following sequence of events:
 {{{
 Right away, I get 3 mesh networks.
 After a second or two, there is a blink, blink,
   and I see 2 APs.  (but not my AP)
 After roughly 10 more seconds, blink, blink,
   and I see the rest of the APs I expect.
 Then the WiFi LED turns on and it connects to my AP.
 }}}


 There are two other quirks that are probably related.

 After booting with the WiFi off:

 {{{
 The Neighborhood view shows 3 mesh networks.
 The My Settings Network page has the Radio box checked/on.
 (The WiFi LED is out.)
 }}}


 Argh.  I just noticed another quirk that is probably part of this tangle:

 If the WiFi is on and you close/open the lid, it comes up with the WiFi
 LED off.  It scans the mesh networks and blinks and eventually shows the
 right number of APs, but it doesn't connect to my AP and never turns on
 the WiFi LED.  Ping to the XO doesn't work.  Poking my AP connects and
 turns on the LED.  (That was with power saving disabled.)
