> Wireless Down When Computer Wakes From Suspend Or Screensaver

My laptop uses the Madwifi package to drive my internal Atheros card. When it goes to sleep (close the lid), or the screensaver turns on, wireless stops. This doesn't happen every time...when it will happen is unpredictable, actually: I'd say it happens about half the time. But when it does, I have to reboot to get wireless back up. I'm fairly certain this isn't a hardware or driver problem, as I've never run into it with other distros.

After the fact, iwconfig and ifconfig still show output for ath0 and wifi0, so I think this has to do with KNetworkManager; in fact I'm pretty sure that KNetworkManager is at the root of this.

as i don't use madwifi drivers ,a few things to check: have you tried using the traditional ifup method to rule out network manager ? have you tried adding the madwifi drivers to kpowersave's black-list ?

"ifup ath0" as root worked once. Then I tested it again, and only one network became visible. Not that this would be a solution, but it seems spotty.

Also, many commands are unavailable to me, whether as sudo or otherwise, even after I gave myself (myusername) ALL=ALL (ALL) or however the format goes. I haven't had this problem with Debian and others, so I'm assuming openSUSE handles sudo, or my .bash path, differently from how I expect it to. For now, to be superuser my only option is "su" and then the passw

EDIT: I found this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231801
Maybe this will help me fix it, but it appears that it will be a bit before this is resolved.
