Hi all, I'm setting up an HTPC (Zotac IONITX-F in a Silverstone ML02-MXR case with remote) running XBMC on top of a minimal karmic install (no gnome or kde gui). So far I've managed to get everything running including the tricky stuff: wireless, lcdpro and lirc, but when I suspend and resume the box, the wireless connection fails. My wireless network is configured configurationI opted for a static IP solution instead of the usual dhcp connection with the router (D-link DIR-615) reserving an IP for the MAC-address. This is my /etc/network/interfaces file: auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface #auto eth0 #iface eth0 inet dhcp # Wireless auto wlan0 #iface wlan0 inet dhcp iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.0.111 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 pre-up /sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant So far I can get the pc to suspend and wake up using the remote, but when I do so, the wireless connection, which is configured for a static IP address, dies. Pinging it from my desktop leads to "Destination Host Unreachable" errors. Running ifconfig on the htpc shows that wlan0 doesn't have an IP address anymore. To make things stranger: restarting /etc/init.d/networking gives wlan0 an IP address again, but still results in "Destination Host Unreachable" errors on both sides! Rebooting OTOH solves the problem. I looked into the pm-suspend.log to find this: [CODE]Tue Jan 19 20:09:23 CET 2010: performing suspend Tue Jan 19 20:10:08 CET 2010: Awake.

[/CODE] It seems to imply that the wicd resume script succeeded even though /var/log/wicd/wicd.log states: 2010/01/19 20:14:01 :: No wired connection present, attempting to autoconnect to wireless network 2010/01/19 20:14:01 :: Unable to autoconnect, you'll have to manually connect The NetworkManager script doesn't seem to be run at resume time, I don't know if that's relevant (the wicd error seems to suggest that it isn't). For further information: the wireless network is configured c for a static IP solution instead of the usual dhcp connection with the router (D-link DIR-615) reserving an IP for the MAC-address.
