[Bug 56421] Re: ipw3945 doesn't reassociate after suspend

[merc]

Hiya,

I am not sure this is gonna help.
However, I found that ifdown/ifup doesn't actually do the trick.

What you _actually_ need to do is this:


#!/bin/bash

#echo Killing the DHCP client...
killall dhclient3
rm /var/run/dhclient.eth1.pid

#echo Restarting the DHCP client...
dhclient3 -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth1.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth1.leases eth1

This actually does the trick quite nicely.

I have no idea why this is. I know that dhclient3 is killed when the
computer goes to sleep. But I don't understand what wakes it up, nor why
it won't work "normally" as soon as the interface is up. Please note
that it doesn't just take extra time - it will never connect.

If you want me to run more tests, all you have to do is ask!

Bye,

Merc.
