Once I activated apmd using runlevel in yast2 and the activation process ended 
up wreaking havoc on my system.  Different things would no longer work after 
I suspended the notebook --among which were: network, internet, the link for 
starting/stopping smbfs, to name the most important.

Since I had to get some actual work done, and the system was working 
improperly, I installed another distro to get my 2-week  backlog caught up, 
then reinstalled SuSE8.2 PE & installed the updates.

I made the conscious decision to *not* add apmd to runlevel, but instead I 
manually invoked it from the suid shell before suspending the box overnight.  
This morning everything worked --network access, internet, the works --for 
three hours, roughly.  I got my e-mail, created some filters on the incoming, 
then decided to click on a URL within one of the messages.  The dialog box 
came up and the browser never loaded.  The wheels just kept on spinning.  I 
invoked 'rcnetwork restart' from root and tried again.  This time, I was 
immediately greeted with 'cannot find host' or whatever the message is.  
Pinging from konsole yielded the same results.  It took a reboot before 
things would work as before.

I am just puzzled, and do not know where to start!
