wpa_supplicant & suspend

[Emilio Scalise]

Do the scripts call ifdown at suspend time?
If you call ifdown, wpa_supplicant process is killed?

To control wpa settings from gnome you could try network-manager, but I
don't personally like it too much. I prefer use wpa_supplicant in
roaming mode. See /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz for an
howto (it's the third section).
Try it and choose what you like best.

Bye
