Hi, I've tried posting about this on the forums but haven't gotten |
2 |
anywhere, can anyone help with this problem? |
3 |
|
4 |
I'm using a Netgear WG511T Atheros pcmcia card for wireless networking |
5 |
on my G3 Pismo powerbook, i've got the networking set up ok but when |
6 |
the laptop goes to sleep, eg when the lid is closed, the network card |
7 |
gets powered down (lights are off when in sleep), and when the |
8 |
computer is resumed from sleep the card is not connected any more, |
9 |
when power comes back on it has one light lit on the network card. I |
10 |
have to run "/etc/init.d/net.ath0 restart" as root every time i resume |
11 |
from sleep. |
12 |
|
13 |
I think in a previous incarnation of my set up (earlier packages, |
14 |
earlier kernel) it would resume from sleep and be connected, but not |
15 |
sure how it was set up at the time (card still on during sleep?). |
16 |
|
17 |
Does anyone have any suggestions about what the problem is, how it |
18 |
could be fixed, how its supposed to behave (is the pcmcia card meant |
19 |
to be off in sleep or not?), or where to start looking for answers? |
20 |
|
21 |
I'm running pbbuttonsd to handle sleeping, not running pmud (not |
22 |
installed), there is no /etc/init.d/pcmcia script in my set up (is |
23 |
there meant to be?). |
24 |
|
25 |
Its very hard to figure out what the problem is because I have no idea |
26 |
what is supposed to trigger network connection after resuming from |
27 |
sleep, is there supposed to be a trigger in one of the scripts in |
28 |
/etc/power that causes networking to be restarted? or does it |
29 |
magically set up the connection again some other way? |

thanks, |
