I'll bite. I can't quite get the network up after suspend on my A20m. It used to work half the time, then I fiddled with it, now I pretty much never works. Tried fiddling again as I'm tired of doing a /etc/init.d/networking restart. But I got the the driver compiled in the kernel. -- Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Actually it looks like apmd doesn't run the scripts it's supposed to or the NIC needs a bit more time to 'wake up' enough for intuitively to work. Just doing a /etc/init.d/networking restart as the first thing brings up the network just fine. Added in some debugging to make sure it's not the first option. Using ALSA for the cs46xx or the kernel driver? I used to use Alsa, but when I had to reinstall (Doze, don't ask...) it was a bitch, and the new kernel driver worked fine. > I had problems with APM in 2.4.6, but moving to a newer kernel fixed all of > my problems (the recovery from sleep hardlocked the machine). blade:~# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.5 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.4 20010522 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Wed Jun 6 12:30:00 CEST 2001 Hmmm...
