Thread: Run a command after waking from suspend/hibernate?

I am running 9.10 on an old Dell laptop. Suspend and resume is working fine, except I lose my wireless after resuming. If I run a "rmmod ndiswrapper; modprobe ndiswrapper" manually after resuming, then all is well again.

What I am wondering is if there's a file that gets executed automatically upon resume where I can place these commands to automate it?

I am also open to suggestions for a less bass-ackwards approach if anyone has a suggestion. My first attempt to get this to work was to edit /etc/default/acpi-support and add ndiswrapper to the MODULES entry, but this did not fix the problem.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Did some more reading, and I was able to get it to work as follows (perhaps a kludgy solution, but I don't know a more elegant one, and it worked for me!):

Created a new file named 0000wireless in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d, and made it executable:

chmod a+x /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/0000wireless

The file has the following contents:

#!/bin/sh

# reload ndiswrapper to get wireless to recover properly

case "$1" in
resume|thaw)
rmmod ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
;;
esac

There is also /etc/default/acpi-support. You can add a list of modules to be unloaded before sleep, then reloaded after wake. This file may be deprecated in 9.10, I'm not sure. I'm running Jaunty at the moment.

That was the first thing I tried, but it seemed to have no effect.
