WiFi does not reconnect after hibernate to disk

FC6 seems to be following a familiar pattern. FC6 after install worked
nearly perfectly. After a Shutdown->Hibernate (suspend to disk) the
networking would recover on restore. However a few "updates" later
this does not appear to work as smoothly anymore.

For some reason I must issue a "ifconfig wifi0 up" command before
Network Manager has any chance of re-establishing a connection.

Is this a bug or mis-configuration or ... ?

It's a Thinkpad T41p with a Atheros wireless chipset ("MadWifi" driver
which are installed separately)

Thanks,

Joe.
