Re: Re: Loosing internet after suspend
Okay. I have a regular ethernet card built into my laptop's motherboard.
I use Openbox for my desktop, whilst my wife uses Gnome. I use
powersaved for power management, which in turn uses acpid.
What i have done so far is make changes to the powersaved config
scripts. I have instructed it to restart networking, acpid, and the
firewall to no avail (before discovering that eth0 itself no longer
existed in /dev). I then tried unloading and re-loading the module that
my ethernet driver uses (natsemi), but that doesn't help. Then i tried
manually restarting several of the init.d scripts that seemed promising
in an effort to bring up the eth0 device (no luck). I've done alot of
searching on the internet besides that and really didn't find anything
useful.
It seems to me that something in the boot process checks for the
existence of that device (/dev/eth0) and creates it, but i can't figure
out what that is. There must be some way to tell the kernel (or
something) to create it! I just don't even know where to look though.
Does MAKEDEV still work? My only thought is to manually create the
device from the init.d/networking script if it doesn't exist, but that
seems like a kludge and fragile besides. Basically i'm wondering if
anybody knows of the proper way to do this.
