Now the investigation goes to find out why eth0 is now eth1. Apparently, I have installed a package that is conflicting with the order networking devices are scanned.

suspend to ram/disk
Hi. [ please CC me ] First of all, unfortunately I don't have a ppc machine;) I'm the maintainer of uswsusp, it is a set of programs to use the vanilla kernel to suspend the machine to ram/disk or both. It adds encryption, compression and a splash screen (the last one isn't released yet). Currently it isn't build for ppc, because I don't know to much about how to get a ppc s2ram. Here you guys come in;) Do you need also need to do all these weird quirks to get your graphics card to get out of sleep (vbetool, radeontool and the like)? I saw some code flying around doing some ioctl()s on /dev/pmu. Is that all you need to safely s2ram? If that's all there is, than it will be easy to add ppc support to uswsusp. grts Tim signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Frans, can you comment ? I saw you commited this fix, but maybe you didn't upload it yet ? Or maybe there is another issue ?

Is relation of *-source packages to *-modules-$kernelversion hardcoded or is there a way to have mol-modules-source as the kernel modules source package name and mol-modules-$kernelversion as the name of the binary package containing the kernel modules? I would like to have this because mol-source as the package name for the package containing only the source for the mol kernel modules is misleading.

Apologies for not getting back earlier.
