A mistake here: wicd was pulled in because I installed the xfce-desktop task, not because of Network Manager. Still, I've always managed my interfaces using /etc/network/interfaces and have *never* configured them using wicd. > As I cannot disable the /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55wicd script I've > introduced another > script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/00_restart_network that stops dhclient and (...) Please take note that it took me quite a lot of debugging of the pm-suspend scripts until I found out that the reason why my interfaces were reconfigured was because of wicd. Once the culprit has been found, a much simpler way to prevent this bug would be using apt-get or dpkg, I could remove wicd since it is only Recommended: by xfce-desktop. For me it probably an option, but a regular user that steps into this bug will find that this will make more "friendly" package management frontends, such as aptitude, to *always* try to remove the xfce-desktop task (unless configured to ignore Recommends).
