Handling of network interfaces is sub-optimal

Which version of acpi-support do you have installed?

ii acpi-support 0.29 acpi-support is a collection of useful event

# Bring up the interfaces (this should probably be left up to some policy
# manager, but at the moment we just bring back whatever we ifdowned)
#for x in $INTERFACES; do
# ifup $x;
#done

# Actually, we don't for the moment - we end up waiting for things to time out
# because multiple ifups want to write to the state file and it's locked. We
# need a better way of doing this - for now just bring back up whatever is
# flagged as auto

ifup -a &

------

Wouldn't a better solution be:

ifup $INTERFACES &

After a fresh install of Colony 4 on this laptop, the ethernet card now
"survives" a suspended session. So this problem is now gone on this laptop.

Related to this: After a mere "echo disk | sudo tail /sys/power/state" (i. e.
without all the pmi magic), resuming works perfectly on my system. However, when
using the powermanagement-interface way (which is also used by gdm, etc.), i. e.
doing "sudo pmi action hibernate" my ethernet cards are unconfigured after resume.

Sorry, it is

  echo disk | sudo tee /sys/power/state

of course.

Ought to be fixed with the new initramfs-tools

I have tried the new initramfs-tools, and the suspend works normally on my
laptop, with the wired nic network working properly after the suspend session.

Cool.
