Description of problem: after suspend of my laptop I cannot see signal levels anymore, everything except connected network shows 100% This can be fixed via wifi-wext-only=true in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.8.1-13.el6.x86_64 wpa_supplicant-0.7.3-1.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-195.el6.x86_64 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34) this is not driver specific as it works the same way on iwl5000 (5100 card)
We should test several Wi-Fi drivers as the bug is influenced by using nl80211 supplicant driver in wpa_supplicant (instead of legacy wext). And some Wi-Fi drivers may not work properly with nl80211.
