On restart wpa_supplicant can use it as a hint. The problem seems to be generic in that suspend/resume needs to save more state than shutdown/boot (or may be, the only difference between the two is state saving). > I've we're going to do that, I think we may want either a new target in > /etc/rc.d/netif or a new /etc/rc.d/linkstate script.
