A familiar problem.... I have been presuming that the problem has been somewhere in my configuration and my use of an old-style wpasupplicant config acting as a roaming daemon for my wifi along with ifconfig. [1] While I've not solved the problem, I can offer a couple of workarounds that work for me: * turn off the wireless radio using the hardware switch and wait for a few seconds before hibernating. (this means that the network connection is torn down and the device will get seen anew by hal when it is turned back on after you resume) * if turning the radio off doesn't work for whatever reason or I forget, then the following script [2] seems to get things up and running again. You'll need to edit it to your tastes, including your own wireless module in the rmmod/modprobe statements etc. Each of the sleeps is actually necessary and the values of them are just the minimum that works reliably for me. I don't know why they are needed but the same sequence of commands run without the sleeps fails to reactivate my wlan. Happy hunting! Stuart [1] <rant>Long story... when I was setting this system up that was the recommended way to do it. It worked really well for me. Then the wpa_supplicant maintainers changed their minds about how things should work and decided that a new (and at that stage non-existent) roaming daemon should do these things not wpa_supplicant + ifplugd. I gave up rewriting my wpa config files each and every time they changed format, location or mode of operation and have stuck with what is (mostly) working on my laptop. On the next machine, I'll look at whatever the preferred config on that particular day is.</rant> [2] ---------- snip ---------- #!/bin/sh # take everything down to a clean, unconfigured state /etc/init.d/ifplugd stop /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant stop ifdown eth1 killall pump rmmod ipw2100 sleep 2 # start bringing things back up, starting with the kernel module modprobe ipw2100 /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant start sleep 5 wpa_cli reassociate sleep 2 /etc/init.d/ifplugd start ---------- snip ---------- -- Stuart Prescott www.nanoNANOnano.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
