Hi guys, got my laptop configured and recompiled the 2.4.7-10 kernel.. (yes I know thats old) everything is fine.. however. when you put the laptop in suspend mode (close the lid).. everything is saved.. and comes up when you wake it again.. in suspend mode, the hardware is put to sleep and once its woken up, it is in a different state (almost powered down) and needs to be reset to the 'workable' state essentially the module (device driver) needs to take care of this.. is there any exposed onWakeup(..) function that will be called?? by the apm manager? but I guess this is not happening and my network goes dead two: I use DHCP.. a new IP should be obtained after a wakeup.. and the old one released (it will be releaserd by the server anyway if it is not used for a long time).. even doing a network stop/start will not solve this and I don't believe in spending much fossil fuel (keeping the laptop on for long) .. :) any suggestions/ideas... guess this should be incorporated in the kernel.. some kind of a wakeup mechanism.. cheers, Sharath ===== -Sharath __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
