I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.24, and so I also upgraded from bcm43xx to b43. There used to be a problem with bcm43xx that after resuming from Supend-To-Ram, wireless didn't work anymore. This however could be fixed with bcm43xx using the following sequence: killall dhcpcd killall wpa_supplicant ifconfig wlan0 down #nb: the if was renamed from eth1 to wlan0 via udev rmmod bcm43xx modprobe bcm43xx ifconfig wlan0 up wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf\ -B -P/var/run/wpa_supplicant.pid dhcpcd wlan0 It doesn't work with b43. (of course replacing bcm43xx with b43). I *assume* that the core isn't completely reseted on insmod'ing. regards, tom PS: keep the good work! also, tux-on-ice works, so this is just a minor annoyance. -- Thomas Ilnseher
