[Bug 1175455] [NEW] wireless-tools prevent wireless reconnect after resume

[monochromec]

Public bug reported:

Noticed this after an upgrade to raring on a Macbookpro 8,1.

After resuming the machine from sleeping, getting an IP address through
the network manager takes anything between 30 seconds and a minute.
Whereas in quantal it took approx. 10 seconds max.

When further investigating this issues, I came across a somewhat
unrelated bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-
manager/+bug/274405) which contained a workaround : prevent /etc/network
/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools from executing in the first place, for
example, by inserting "exit 0" before executing the function "apply-
settings" in the bash script.

Some command in this long chain of if statements inside apply-settings
is causing this delay - will investigate further time permitting.

Wireless-tools is version 30~pre9-8ubuntu1, wireless chip is a Broadcom
BCM4331 using the b43 kernel driver as a part of a new upstream kernel
version 9.0-030900-generic (but I also noticed this behaviour with the
stock 3.8 kernel that comes with raring). I suspect a driver problem in
connection with the wireless tools as there was no such delay in quantal
(using kernel upgrades up to 3.6.3).
