I've got this Ubuntu box setup on someone else's computer, and I setup initng (to boot faster) on it.

I also updated the wireless drivers (madwifi) quite successfully.

When the computer hibernates, then comes out of hibernation, it doesn't connect to the router and get an IP address, as it would out of initng.

I could run more trials to see if it's specifically and only initng's fault, or a combination of things.

Can someone help me? Is there any initng comming-out-of-hibernations scripts that I could modify to call up the script to bring up the network card?


thanks.

I noticed a similar behavior on my laptop about an hour ago...

Anyway since I was using gtk wifi (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=74)

All I had to do was using it's gui to reconnect and I was all set up.

I can't make the user click on reconnect, it has to be automatic. So far, the reaction was that the PCMCIA madwifi card had better support than windows does. Hibernation with madwifi with normal init wasn't a problem: it would reconnect. I will have to browse around ubuntu and find those out-of-hibernation scripts, and call ifup ath0 in them.

I have Ubuntu on this old Toshi laptop, with a Cisco 350 wifi Aironet card.
Had to play with the init scripts to get PCMCIA services initialized prior to the network starting. This was a general issue, not hibernation specific.

Hibernation works fine most of the time - occasionally I need to issue a network restart toget the interface working. Haven't bothered chasing why, as it only happens every 20 restarts or so.
I don't use init-ng, as I make generally go make a coffee while the box starts (whichever box I'm on).

the scripts are at /etc/acpi/resume.d

make a file called 51-networkhack and add these lines:

#!/bin/bash
ngrestart net/ath0


there you go
