Hi

I have a desktop machine I recently installed OpenBSD 7.3 on. Everything 
seems to be working fine except that it doesn't obtain a DHCP lease when 
waking up from suspend. I haven't found any docs saying if it even should 
do this. However, I also have a laptop running 7.3 and it does automatically 
connect to a network when waking up from suspend. So I'm a bit confused 
about why this works on the laptop but not on the desktop.

On both machines I have created a hostname.if file under /etc. The desktop 
machine does obtain a dhcp lease after the system has booted up, but it 
doesn't do this after waking up from suspend as explained earlier. The 
laptop is using wifi and the desktop is using a usb-ethernet adapter.

Is this kind of behaviour expected? It's not a huge issue, since suspending 
the desktop machine is not that necessary. I'm just quite puzzled because 
these two machines behave differently even though the configuration should 
be almost identical. I tried to resolve the issue by creating a script in 
/etc/apm/resume that should run /etc/netstart, but for whatever reason this 
script does not seem to run at all when the machine wakes up.

I'm new to using OpenBSD as a desktop. I've used it a 
little bit on a headless server before, but I recently decided to start using 
it 
as a desktop out of interest. Everything else seems to be working as 
expected.
