I do this in /etc/power/pwrctl-local, by testing for the network when
the laptop wakes up:
function is_network_up () {
timeout=${1-10}
# get default gateway machine
gateway=`ip route list | awk '/^default via [0-9.]+/{print $3}'`
if [ -n "$gateway" ] ; then
# ping for a maximum of $timeout s, until at least one packet is
returned
ping -w${timeout} -c1 -n $gateway > /dev/null
return $?
else
return 1
fi
}
case $1 in
wakeup)
if ! is_network_up ; then
ifdown eth0 ppp0
ifup eth0 ppp0
fi
;;
esac
Then, I do magic in /etc/network/interfaces (which controls how ifup and
ifdown do their stuff). I use guessnet to choose the right network,
which can then be mapped to how to set it up (using dhcp, static IP,
etc.).
This works quite well for me.
