Re: suspend / Hibernate

Im not sure if it is possible to stop this from happening, but i can give you my view on it.

Hibernate -  basically shutting your computer/laptop down, so of course you wont have an internet connection when there is nothing to use it.

Standby - not sure if this is a valid reason at all, but you are putting your computer in standby to save power right? well,, possibly the wifi drains battery faster.

sorry i cant answer your question, and those points arent too good.

sad

PS. statler alpha 2 seems to load my wifi connection up alot quicker than 9.04 smile

I once installed gentoo. It asked me for a sacrifice and would not install itself unless I gave him my neighbor's first born and my best bottle of Whiskey.  -Awebb 2011

Re: suspend / Hibernate

^ I believe stork means that when he wakes the computer from standby or hibernate, the wifi does not reconnect.  I don't know if this helps, but I had this problem when I tried WiCD with 9.04, but not with Network Manager.  It might be the opposite for your specific hardware; try replacing Network Manager with WiCD.

By the way, the hardware is...?

Re: suspend / Hibernate

I think you can install wicd first then uninstall networkmanager.

Re: suspend / Hibernate

There's a nice how-to on doing that, in the Arch wiki:

Re: suspend / Hibernate

If you do it in synaptic or aptitude you can do both at once. It then first downloads new packages & then installs & removes packages.

Re: suspend / Hibernate

Basically what happens is this:
1. WiCD and any dependencies is downloaded.
2. Network Manager is unloaded/killed/stopped.
3. Network Manager is uninstalled.
4. WiCD is installed.
...in that order.

I don't remember whether WiCD was automatically started or if I had to reboot to get it going, but I do remember that I didn't have any problems getting the packages I needed.
