SRU justification:

Impact: The houskeeping of the wireless stack does not account for the time 
spent in suspend. So after resume it will think the AP's from the last scan are 
still valid and tries to reconnect to the one connected to before suspended.

Fix: Account for the time spent in suspend when resuming. Patch taken from 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=333270 and tested by the 
reported. (Had been withdrawn from pre-release inclusion as it changes the ABI)

Testcase: Connect to an access point, suspend, move away and resume.

When all other means of communication fail, try words!
