[Dextrose] Wanting to know a bit of (NetworkManager) workflow upon resume-from-suspend

[Ajay Garg]

which actually brings me back to my original question ::

"""
Why is it so that putting the 'disable-mesh-script' in the 'start()' method
of '/etc/init.d/Networkmanager' works (always) for (re)boot; but never
works for resume-upon-suspend?
"""


Regards,
Ajay
