wifi connection imidiately after awakening

[SeeLook]

I've got this on desktop machine by connecting power button to my shell script (it call pm-suspend and after woke up it is refreshing network and even adjuting time via ntp)

But on laptop I have problems:
NetworkManager needs too much time to reconect wifi after wake up.
There is wl (broadcom wifi driver - chosen by Kubuntu) and I can't manage it via iwconfig (to insert essid and WEP key). I googled a lot, but I didn't find nothing for Kubuntu... so if networkmanager can do this there have to be "something"...
Second thing is that /etc/acpi/lid.sh is not solution to call the script until powerDevil or other KDE daemon maneges of closeing the lid.

What do You think??

Use wpa_supplicant instead of iwconfig to make the connection ;-)

Thanks for quick answer...

but it seems that wpa_supplicant has no influence on wl driver.
I checked this on desktop first. I created /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and by

wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

I can insert essid and key but for ath_9k driver.
It doesn't work for laptop, but I changed driver to brcm80211 and it works.
However proprietary wl driver supports led diode that is pointing hardware availability.

Also in previous topic I found solution how call script after resume (by /etc/pm/sleep.d/myScript.sh.

Maybe someone has another idea how to force wl to work "from finger" ??
