(metoo ;-)

It seems to have just resurfaced for me with the upgrade
network-manager:amd64 0.9.8.0-5 -> 0.9.8.8-5

Now, on two different machines, suspending leads to network-manager
saying that "Networking disabled" and entirely unable to be reenabled
via the applet in the tray.

The method in #566891:

  or run
  service network-manager stop
  rm /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
  service network-manager start

worked perfectly.

Downgrading back to 0.9.8.0-5 also worked: suspending with that
version allows the system to be suspended without problem.
