I tried suspending to disk my laptop, unplugging the batteries and ether card, taking it to another part of the building and the firing it up. Pccardd saw the ethernet card, Dhclient saw the dhcp server and got my ip address back, and my pre-existing remote terminal sessions continued functioning :) Excellent. IMO if the machine is a server and you want to suspend it, who cares about the clients at the other end? If you did you wouldn't suspend it in the first place :) Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
