I was hoping someone would hand me a magic bullet so I wouldn't have to |
| 20 |
go fishing for that stuff, heh. Your advice didn't help me directly, |
| 21 |
but I think just seeing it in writing was enough to prompt me to some |
| 22 |
better thinking than I was doing before, so thanks! |

I procrastinated about the search until my brain cell fired and I tried |
| 25 |
`hibernate --no-suspend` a few times and found that wicd didn't restart |
| 26 |
even when the machine didn't actually hibernate. Then with wicd |
| 27 |
running, I tried just `/etc/init.d/wicd restart` -- every time, it |
| 28 |
stopped but failed to restart. But if I waited a few seconds after |
| 29 |
stopping wicd, then it would start. It was a great relief to have |
| 30 |
isolated the problem from the hibernate process itself. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I've solved it by abandoning hibernate's RestartServices directive and |
| 33 |
instead stopping and starting wicd more explicitly with |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
OnSuspend 10 /etc/init.d/wicd stop |
| 36 |
OnResume 10 /usr/local/bin/wicd-delayed-start |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Where wicd-delayed-start is a script with |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
/usr/bin/sleep 3 && /etc/init.d/wicd start |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I have no idea what's at the root of the apparent timing issue -- I |
| 43 |
figure it's that the networking gremlins refuse to be called back to |
| 44 |
work too soon once they've been told they can take a break. |

In case it helps future searchers, I think the relevant hardware info |
| 47 |
is: Lenovo IdeaPad y510p with Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N |

2230 (rev c4). |
