ok... few seconds after found a workaround and then the actual reason --- my AP although was 'trusted' by the running knetworkmanager (at least according to GUI settings), but never made into its configuration file /home/yoh/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc since I never exit knetworkmanager after being connected to that AP.
Somehow, whatever listed in GUI is not sufficient to actually be trusted after resume -- KNM didn't try to connect to my ESCAPE. Ok -- I've connected manually, quit KNM explicitly, mentioned that ESCAPE appeared in the configuration file, restarted knetworkmanager, suspend/resume and now everything works smooth. So, imho, it boils down to absent storing of config upon adding a new trusted network + somewhat incoherent use of the list of trusted network -- whatever is displayed in GUI might not actually considered trusted (if it was not in the configuration file) NB I am using kwallet to store keys ;) -- Yaroslav Halchenko Research Assistant, Psychology Department, Rutgers-Newark Student Ph.D. @ CS Dept.
