I use APM on FC1 (2.4 kernel) - and I don't do anything before suspend
(Fn-F4) So far no issues with reassociating with AP. I've been using a
feb snapshot for a long time.

I've just started using latest snapshot (since more than a day) will
see if this has any problems - with suspend/resume. (I've already gone
through a few of the suspend/resume cycles already with it)

My brief testing with 2.6 kernel from FC2 didn't have any problems
with APM suspend/resume. ACPI had issues e1000 (ethernet on ThinkPad
T40) so I stick with APM.
