Wireless after closing the lid
 
Hey all
after i close the lid on my Fedora 10 laptop it shuts off the wireless.
I can live with that.
How ever after i open the lid and log back on the wireless does not automagicly come back.
I have to manually (whine whine whine) right click on network manager and select enable networking. Even after that it only sees a few wireless networks, not mine of course. I have to connect to someone else and then connect to mine.

Is the system sleeping or hibernating when you close the lid? or are you closing the lid, and the system remains fully operating?

I'm not sure if this will interfere with network manager:
Code:
SYNOPSIS
      /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-*

VARIABLES
      The  following  is  a list of variables that can be put in the configuration file, with an
      example in parentheses.  * marks the default.  For the meaning of suffix, see the  section
      Multiple addresses.

      STARTMODE {manual*|auto|hotplug|ifplugd|nfsroot|off}
              Choose when the interface should be set up.
              manual Interface  will be set up if ifup is called manually (without option boot or
                    hotplug)
              auto  Interface will be set up as soon as it is available (and service network was
                    started).  This  either happens at boot time when network is starting or via
                    hotplug when a interface is added to the system (by adding a device or load-
                    ing  a driver). To be backward compliant onboot, on and boot are aliases for
                    auto.
              hotplug
                    This mode is nearly the same as auto.  The difference between auto and  hot-
                    plug is that the latter does not make rcnetwork fail if the interface cannot
                    be brought up.
              ifplugd
                    The interface will be controlled from ifplugd. At initial ifup only  ifplugd
                    will  be started for this interface. Then if ifplugd detects a link if calls
                    ifup  again  which  finally  sets  the  interface  up.  See  also  variable
                    IFPLUGD_PRIORITY below.
              nfsroot
                    Nearly like auto, but interfaces with this startmode will never be shut down
                    via rcnetwork stop.  ifdown <interface> still works. Use this when you use a
                    root filesystem via network.
              off    Will never be activated.
Using "STARTMODE=auto" might help.
