Re: reloading firewire modules after suspend causes trouble

[Claas Langbehn <claas@rootdir.de>]

Hello Florian,


as far as I know, Firewire (ieee1394, ohci1394, sbp2) always needed to
be deactivated (rmmod them) before going to sleep. Actually, this is
kind of annoying, because of the processes using the devices. I wrote 
a little script to do this (see below). But still this did not work
properly from /etc/power/pwrctl-local :(

The prompt you get does not look like xmon, though. It is a strange
debug message.

It is a sad thing, that the firewiredrivers don't support sleeping and
that they cannot be compiled into the kernel.


Bye, claas
