Does anyone know how to restart PCMCIA services (11.2 Gnome)?
After a suspend the PCMCIA cards are no longer detected but I think there may be ways to restart the services and reactivate them.
Does 11.2 openSUSE Gnome require pcmciautils?

openSUSE is a good distribution (especially for a newbie like me) …
I installed the s2ram package called ‘suspend’ in openSUSE distro via a) webpin search and b) added the repository so I think it installed via yast
Then as root I called s2ram Suspend to RAM - openSUSE
I found with -n parameter that my machine not in database so I tried a --force which forced suspend to ram
Getting it back up I had to hit the power button which worked.
PCMCIA USB etc all fine
Restarting internet required ifdown eth0
then ifup eth0 (I am using ifup and not network manager (ref Network Settings)
I have 2 routers and apparently all flavours and current versions of linux find this a problem.
Computer(s) >> Local Safecom 4 Port Cable/DSL Broadband Router (e.g. for WAN sharing) >> ethernet/powerline >> Netgear Broadband Cable Modem Router >> ISP
Both routers have NAT hardware firewall if that is relevant. Until I can figure out how to edit my config somewhere so that both routers and DNS etc are accommodated I have removed the local Safecom router which resolves the problem. Without the extra router I am now using Network Manager (or ifup if I want) and can suspend and hibernate without too much difficulty.
One thing I have done is to add a command to a hook file called 99mylocal I created (and made executable) in /etc/pm/sleep.d to refresh the network. Here is the text of 99mylocal:
#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
hibernate)
echo "Hibernating... suspending to Disk... ;>}"
echo "Unmounting external disks..."
umount -l /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc2
echo "Taking eth0 down before hibernation..."
/sbin/ifdown eth0
;;
suspend)
echo "Suspending to RAM... ;>}"
echo "Unmounting external disks..."
umount -l /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc2
echo "Taking down eth0 before suspend ..."
/sbin/ifdown eth0
;;
thaw)
echo "Suspend to disk is over, we are resuming..."
echo "Mounting disks..."
mount -a
echo "Renewing eth0 "
/sbin/rcnetwork restart
echo "network restarted"
;;
resume)
echo "Suspend to RAM seems to be over..."
echo "Mounting disks..."
mount -a
echo "Renewing eth0 "
/sbin/rcnetwork restart
echo "network restarted"
;;
*) echo "somebody is calling me totally wrong."
;;
esac
Without creating the hookfile I could get the same result by opening and then closing the Network Settings control panel in Yast after resuming from suspend or hibernate - since closing the cp runs rcnetwork restart but the hookfile automates it.
