I mean that it fails on wakeup only. And the module (mine is de4x5.o) loads at startup,
although I didn't add that line (I just added 'de4x5' in /etc/modules).

Aha, I tried again, and it's not really my eth0 that's not coming back up, but my routing
table...

heh, I remember you telling me to try that... Never did get around to it though ;)
Might as well try now :)

Works a little better.. of course, the G3 function doesn't deactivate the network interfaces
on sleep or minimum power, so...

But now, even though eth0 and the routes are configured properly, I can't ping anything...
I still have to restart the networking...

?

I just start pmud with /etc/init.d/pmud start (or it does it on startup...). Never saw
anything about options.

I used a stopwatch this time... And I still get 6-8 seconds.

Thanks,
