Exactly. My usage model is done at work put my laptop to sleep and go home. At home I resume it and it sync's up to any network it finds with the appropriate security bits. I put it to sleep before going to work and resume at work. I also have generic modes. I install different firewall rules depending on where I'm at. I also run a local name server that needs to get updated. Then there is YP, amd, etc. that need configuring. Actually it would be kind-of cool to do a network stop/network start on suspend/resume. Maybe in RCng??? Also I have some apps that need to be stopped and started. Like ssh's that can't work now that the network has changed. With 802.11 resuming and seeking out the right network is so usefull. My laptup is up for days/months before reboots but my uptime is lower due to sleeping. This is one reason I don't run -current on my laptop. Other problems are being resolved slowly but things are looking good. Now devd should solve most of my suspend/resume issues with PCMCIA cards but not with built-in 802.11 stuff. Maybe devd can take over for as an apmd replacement? Doug A.
