Details

When i manually invoke a sleep script to my laptop (i do it manually because the LID device is not recognized, see bug #4944 ), everything comes back to life except the network (orinoco type II pcmcia wifi card - using the kinda unsafe 64bit WEP for compatibility reasons with my pdas ;-). I figured that it's a module that needs unloading before going to sleep, but when i try to unload the related modules (hermes, orinoco/cs, pcmcia, yenta_socket etc), it won't let me. I tried to unload them by "reversing" their dependency tree, but they will still not unload. Forcing them to unload, i think it does unload them, and reloading them works, but network will STILL fail to come back to life.

Basically, each time my laptop goes successfully to sleep, I lose networking.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  upstream problem, may already be fixed,

hardware now unavailable to test, thus no resolution in sight.

Successfully sleeping a laptop in linux has always been a dark art to me. :)

What if you completely bring down your networking and then try to remove modules in reverse order? Does that work at all?

Ugly, I know, but perhaps we can figure out a way to automate this.

As I explain above and if you read the scripts, I do bring network down and I did try to remove modules. But they won't unload.

BTW, I sold that laptop today so I won't be having it anymore for testing (except if the buyer hates Linux that much that he asks for his money back... he already asked me for Windows...)
