Hi everyone,
One nettlesome problem I have is that when my laptop (running Redhat 9)
wakes up after it was suspended in sleep mode, the wireless connection
remains inactive and won't start up again. After wake-up, I go to the "Network Configuration" tool (Redhat menu > System Settings > Network),
and click "activate" for my Wireless card (eth1), but instead of
starting up my wireless card, I get the error:
Determining IP information for eth1... SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
Does anyone know what the above error means? Anyone know how to set the wireless card to startup after sleep mode? What are the Linux commands that will let me start-up/shut-down network devices from the command line?
Here's an idea, and maybe this will be what you're looking for. For some reason the kernel modules (aka drivers) don't respond after you wake up. There are a series of scripts that run after wake-up. I'm not sure what they are, but you could enter a few lines into them that unloads your kernel modules for your wireless and then reload them, and then restart your network services. Now because my laptop won't even go to sleep (stupid compaq acpi) I'm not sure what these scripts even are. anyone want to help out here?
