Unreliable wireless connection after suspend

I just did a fresh install of Arch on my netbook. I installed Openbox, tint2 and the network-manager-applet. All works fine, but when I run pm-suspend and then resume from suspend the wireless is dead >50% of the time (I cannot ping anything). Sometimes some websites work fine but others don't! If I reconnect to the wireless network manually everything is back to normal.

Any advice for a more reliable connection after suspend?

Thanks

I don't use wireless, but it seems like I've seen numerous such threads.

Search 'wireless suspend' in the Technical Issues forums.

Re: Unreliable wireless connection after suspend

I had a look but felt my issue wasn't identical. I've just found if I wait long enough (some minutes) it all works again (yet to confirm this is always the case).

EDIT
Switched to using wpa_supplicant and dhcpd and all works well
Couldn't see anything relevant in the logs

Re: Unreliable wireless connection after suspend

Did you check the logs? There most likely will be hints as to what happens after resume.
