Title: Network Doesn't Resume Properly
Post by: xamindar on November 17, 2008, 05:42:55 pm
I have always had a small problem on my C3100 where if you suspend the zaurus while connected to wifi the connection will not work when unsuspended again.

For example; i'll connect to my AP, everything works fine. Then I suspend the zaurus and then turn it back on the wifi card is still "on" as if it is connected but I can't ping anything any more. I have to then disconnect it and reconnect it to get it to work again.

Anyone ever find a solution to this issue? My old 5600 would always work just fine this way.

I know there was a problem with Cacko, that was fixable, I presume this was a hang-over then from Sharp.

You had to fiddle with the suspend/resume scripts in /etc/pcmcia if I recall correctly. sorry, can't be too sure, I'm not running Cacko.

So you had to fiddle with the suspend/resume scripts in the sharp rom as well? I'm not running cacko either as I found it's network stuff to be even worse.  I guess I'll do some more searching. I find it baffling if I am the only one with this issue and that Sharp never released a patch. I wonder if it is some hardware fault that my zaurus has always had or something.

Only "Fix" I found was to unplug the WIFI card, plug it back in and reconnect.

Im guessing a scriupt could be put together to do this though.

clarification: no, I fiddled with cacko scripts only, I never ran Sharp rom at all.

you don't need to pull the card, just do "cardctl eject 1" and "cardctl insert 1"... I created an alias "cei cardctl eject 1 ; sleep 3 ; cardctl insert 1".

be sure to use card 0 or 1 as the CF slot, not the internal hard drive, otherwise it gets a bit upset

At one point I thought there was a 'cleaner' fix for this somewhere on the forums. I seem to recall a one liner going into the etc/pcmcia folder somwhere. I reflashed CACKO today, and this is now relevant to my interests. Anyone else remember anything like that?
