First from vty8, and then konsole within KDE. Neither was for very long (seconds, not minutes) but ath0 functioned after resume. FWIW: '-s 4' powers off the system immediately without a shutdown. '- s 5' does a shutdown. When I suspend from within X, the screen does not turn off totally. It dims significantly until it is almost black, but I can still see the windows that were/are open. The mouse cursor went away, but came sback after a HUP. http://www.freebsddiary.org/ibm-thinkpad-t41.php has a section on suspend/resume. But I have not tried those settings yet. > For now I just run an /etc/rc.d/netif restart ath0 when I resume. > > I've shown this to Sam Leffler and he also sees resume problems on a > similar system.
