Yes, I've found it very useful in general, esp. when I was installing,
though it didn't have anything helpful for this.

I didn't have this line in that file, and it's not documented in
hibernate.conf.

Yes, though I didn't find it too relevant. At least if it is relevant,
I'm not sure how. My /etc/network/interfaces is:
---
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
---
The NM README file would suggest that eth1 (my wireless interface)
is managed by NM, since it's not explicitly listed here, and this
is in general the case (i.e. that NM manages eth1), though my
problem is the failure of NM to connect to a network after a resume,
and that network-admin _does_ manage to do this (though not reflected
in the NM panel app).
If the NM README file is telling me to do something else, I'm afraid
my reading comprehension skills are too poor to make sense of it :-(
Thanks.
