laptop-net: can I have my cake and eat it?
I tried laptop-net last night, and was impressed with what I saw until I
suspended the machine and then brought it back to life. I had to run
"ifup eth0" manually after resuming, which I thought laptop-net was
designed to obviate. Syslog extract follows.
Apart from this laptop-net was doing good things when I pulled the cable
out, but this misfeature made it more trouble than it's worth for me. Is
this a misconfiguration problem? I tried editing start_fn and stop_fn in
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts as suggested in the docs for laptop-net with no
visible effect.
Without laptop-net, I can suspend and resume merrily without affecting
the network status, but I have to restart networking manually if I
change to a new network.

-------------
Syslog extract: suspend at 00:50:20, resume at 00:50:55
Note that laptop-net status goes
up,running,connected
-> up,running,disconnected
-> down,stopped,disconnected
-> unknown (suspended)
-> down,stopped,disconnected
I'd like it to get back to up,running,connected without intervention
from me.
