ipw3945 not working after suspend

Brain Fury

When I boot my laptop up after suspend2 my wireless lan card isn't starting. I have to manualy set the rf_kill to 0 before it works again. Is there a way to do this in the hibernate script?

If you're running the 1.7.22-r4 version of the ipw3945d daemon, make sure you set permissions correctly on your /var/run/ipw3945d directory, as well as you edit your /etc/conf.d/ipw3945d configuration file as Fran described in the following thread;

A poster there mentions that they fixed their specific ipw3945 - suspend problem by following that thread.. (Good Luck..)

Thank you for your answer, but in the meantime I found a way to solve this. I just addes the following line to /etc/hibernate/common.conf:
OnResume 98 echo 0 > /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:1c.2/0000\:03\:00.0/rf_kill

It may be a bit dirty, but it works. Nontheless I will loook at that thread if there is a besser solution.
