One shot in the dark would be adding -w to the wpa_supplicant command line in /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant. I know wpa_supplicant deals badly with yanking and reinserting a nic under normal circumstances so I'm not too suprised it's having trouble with suspend/resume. > Another curious behavior is that after a manual > ifconfig ath0 down > the interface does not stay down. I suspect wpa_supplicant is bringing it back up. I'm not sure what the answer is there. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
