Lot's of ACPI laptops lack the "S1" (Suspend) state and instead require you to use S3 or S4, (suspend to ram and suspend to disk) instead. Linux 2.4.x doesn't support either of those modes. Instead, you have to use SWSUSP which appears to be a big nasty hack. Linux 2.6 appears to support S3 mode, and S4 seems to be fluctuating in brokenness between -test releases. So, if you're feeling lucky, try one of the handy debian-packaged 2.6 kernels. I toyed with it briefly, but I needed my computer to actually work, so gave up on it rather quickly. To answer you 2nd question, no your network can not still be active while your computer is suspended. Just try to think about how that would work... -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
