If someone gets interested in playing with iwn, it would be great if they could work on resume. FreeBSD 8 is *wonderful* for S3 suspend and resume. I really appreciate the work which has been done to get it to work. The iwn driver is my only issue. I have put up the verbose dmesg for boot and resume if anyone is interested. http://www.lambertfam.org/~lambert/laptop/TravelMate_5720-6911/ After resume the ifconfig shows "associated" on iwn0 and "no carrier" on wlan0. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org
