In a current thread, the OP says that when his laptop machine returns from Suspend, his Wi-Fi connection is restored automatically in a few seconds. Mine doesn't behave that way, and I wish it would. If the difference between the two behaviors is not something beyond my control, what causes it?
The laptop is Dell Vostro with Intel 5300AGN wireless chip. It is running oS v11.2.
Couple different things... the reference oS version in that previous thread was openSUSE 11.3 not 11.2. The laptop was an Asus EEE using the Linux native ath9k WiFi driver, not a Dell Vostro with an Intel 5300 AGN WiFi chipset. That said, the 2.6.31 kernel in 11.2 should fully support the WiFi chip in the Dell. I use both Ubuntu 10.10 and openSUSE 11.3 on the EEE 1005HA netbook, but have also recently installed/tested PCLinuxOS, LinuxMint, RedHat and Gentoo, and all current Linux versions handle suspend to RAM very smoothly once it's set up (eg in LXDE, I had to install the Gnome Power Management tools to enable the suspend to RAM). When you say your laptop doesn't behave that way... what happens? It never recovers from a suspend to RAM?
