I believe that the wireless issue in H5550 is not solved, either in familiar or
OE. In familiar the described (no interface after resume) is still there. In OE
when you resume you get a new wlan%d (i.e, if you had wlan0, you will have
wlan1 on resumption). This is described as a problem in the wiki
(http://openembedded.org/oe_wiki/index.php/Familiar0.8) and, as far as I
understand, is a show stopper for familiar 0.8.

In short, WiFi is broken in familiar _and_ oe, though in different ways. I have
tried both recently (last week).
I don't have enough skills to do something about it, but can test any
solutions, though I prefer these be against the coming familiar 0.8.
