I tried laptop-net last night, and was impressed with what I saw until I suspended the machine and then brought it back to life. I had to run "ifup eth0" manually after resuming, which I thought laptop-net was designed to obviate. Syslog extract follows.
Apart from this laptop-net was doing good things when I pulled the cable out, but this misfeature made it more trouble than it's worth for me. Is this a misconfiguration problem? I tried editing start_fn and stop_fn in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts as suggested in the docs for laptop-net with no visible effect. Without laptop-net, I can suspend and resume merrily without affecting the network status, but I have to restart networking manually if I change to a new network. Rupert ------------- Syslog extract: suspend at 00:50:20, resume at 00:50:55 Note that laptop-net status goes up,running,connected -> up,running,disconnected -> down,stopped,disconnected -> unknown (suspended) -> down,stopped,disconnected I'd like it to get back to up,running,connected without intervention from me.
