Question Wireless not working after suspend/hibernate


Hi guys, I just installed Suse 10 in my x41 tablet, and have several problems. One of the most annoying problem is that the wireless connection stop working after I suspended or hibernated the computer. The wireless icon thing shows an active connection, but when I tried to use firefox, it is not working.
The other problem is the keyboard/mouse problem. How do I configure the middle mouse buttton? Where do I configure the volume up/down/mute buttons?
Thanks a bunch in advance.

Try unloading & reloading the wireless modules - it works for USB.

Incidentally, you'll get better answers if you only ask one question per thread. The middle mouse button is usually a zaxismapping issue - it's been asked thousands of times, a quick search should find the specifics.

lsmod - shows you what modules are currently in use. You'll need to identify each module to know which does what

rmmod - unloads module

modprobe - reloads module

you can set sleep to automatically unload specific module before going to sleep and load just after (usually delay 2-10 sec depending on system). The problem is (in your case) that module is loaded but not "injected" into kernel space. Unloading before, and loading after will resolve your problem

I tried to unload and reload "wlan" module (with its dependencies) but still no luck.

How do I configure sleep so I can unload those modules before going to sleep and load after? Thank you.

/etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep

you will find there (among other things) two sections:
1) Suspend2RAM
there are listed defaull modules that will be unloaded and below you can add your own modules
2) Suspend2disk
see above

for X41 and Intel Wireless 2200BG module name will be ipw2200
run in the terminal window
#lsmod
to confirm the above and enter to the list of modules in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep

hey broch, i got it work on hibernate! Thanks..
but the suspend mode didn't work though even though I already configure the /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep.
Well maybe as for now, I'll just set it to hibernate when i close the lid.
