You're the lucky one :-) |

nm seems to work OK on the RedHats and SuSEs of this world, I've not seen many |

folk get it work smoothly on Gentoo |

In that case, you could retain NetworkManager and tweak your syslogger to |
| 31 |
discard the logs. You'd have to be specific in your MATCH otherwise you might |
| 32 |
toss too many false positives, but we already know you ignore those messages |
| 33 |
anyway |

Unfortunately, that sounds all too realistic. I gave up trying to use suspend |
| 48 |
some time ago after battling with wirelss and graphics hardware that wouldn't |
| 49 |
suspend/resume reliably. But with 4G of RAM here, I find it doesn't take much |
| 50 |
longer to power down/cold start than suspend/resume |
