David Zeuthen (the HAL guy) and I were talking about this friday, and we decided that HAL should broadcast a signal when the machine wakes up. Since there's all sort of ACPI/APM stuff going into HAL right now, it kind of makes sense. However, that's HAL 0.5, and for the stable branch, we need some other mechanism to be able to restart the network. Right now we basically need to tell NetworkManager to throw away all devices, re-read them from HAL, and start everything over. The user may/may not have plugged in other cards during suspend, they may have moved physical locations, they may have plugged/unplugged the cable, so we might as well start from scratch. So, my question is: how can we get notification (not through HAL) of a unsuspend event?
