Not sure exactly what Windows is doing... I know hibernation isn't the same thing as power management, but it seems like your network card is being put in some state by Windows that Linux does not know how to tell it to exit. A possible solution is to not allow Windows to turn off the device to save power.
In the properties for the network card, there should be a tab called Power Management. Make certain that 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' is unchecked. Just a guess off the top of my head. Josh btw - I've had the exact opposite happen with a wireless card on my laptop. It works in Windows and Linux just fine until I hibernate in Windows. It then will not work in Windows until I reboot or pull out the card and reinsert it. In Linux it continues to work no matter what. Go figure. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Hyrum Wright Sent: Monday, 22 September, 2003 21:20 To: BYU Unix Users Group Subject: [uug] Bizarre network problem Okay, here's a bizarre network problem for all of you network gurus out there. First, the set up. I've got D-Link DI-614+ router/4-port hub/NAT box/WAP, into which I have plugged (among other things), a self-built desktop with some ten-dollar network card in it. The box dual boots into both Windows XP, Home Edition, and Gentoo Linux. Both systems work fine (well, except for the obvious drawbacks of using Windows), however, I've noticed some interesting behavior. When I hibernate the windows partition, and then reboot, eth0 doesn't come back up. The light doesn't blink on the router, no dhcp address is assigned, for all purposes, the box doesn't exist to the router, and it doesn't know about the outside world. However, when I boot back into windows, the light comes on, the network is alive, and if I shutdown properly, the networks works again when I go back to Linux. I've tried switching cables and ports, I haven't gone so far as to switch network cards. I'm just curious as to what Windows does that allows it to kill my Linux partition's access to the Internet. Any explanations and/or suggestions would be great. Thanks. Hyrum -- Need an Open Source Genealogy tool?
