About a week : ago some one mentioned on the OpenBSD mobile list and on this list about : when you put the laptop to sleep/hibernation that it looses all ifconfig : settings. Does anyone have a fix for this. : : 95% of the time my Laptop gets its IP froma DHCP server (FYI) The ifconfig settings are gone because the device goes away when the machine suspends. We turn the power on the cards before suspending. Since the power is off on the cards, they are gone. When the suspend comes back, there's no way to know if this card remains, or if a different one was inserted. We have no way of knowing if it is on the same network or not, etc. So, we bring it back. It is the responsibility of the users to get a new address. DHCP is strongly recommended for this situation.
