Hi. I am running F9 on a Toshiba laptop. Due to some ideosyncracies
of my wireless drivers, I think I should remove the wireless drivers
on suspend (hibernate), and modprobe them again on unsuspend. I've been
searching for information on this, and I'm baffled on how F9 "knows" to
suspend to disk when I close my laptop lid. I'm running acpid and it doesn't
appear to be there (only how to do a suspend when the power button is
pushed). I presume it's in pm-utils?

Anyway, specifically, my wireless gets messed up with a hibernate, so I'd like
to either a) do an 'ifup wlan0' on a resume from hibernation, or
b) rmmod rtl8187, etc. going into the hibernation, with modprobe rtl8187, etc.
and an ifup wlan0 on unsuspend. How would I do this?

Thanks!

Terry

Have a look in the power management (personal) preferences, which can
also be found through the screensaver preferences (in Gnome, at least).

A script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ along the lines of this template:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

case "$1" in

hibernate|suspend)
#your sleeping commands go here
;;

thaw|resume)
#your waking commands go here
;;

*)
;;

esac

exit $?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

But if you're using NetworkManager, it *should* be doing whatever's
necessary by itself, already. Of course that doesn't mean that it
actually *does*. :-

less /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/10NetworkManager

If you need some more clues, "rpm -qil pm-utils", and read through some
of the listed files.
