Well, at least you get something working when it comes back. In my case, I usually don't even see a screen come on, let alone minor network problems. Yousuf Khan

Well, I doubt there's any newer bios for my laptop which is a 2006-vintage Gateway. I tend to use the standard kernels that come packaged with the distro or its updates. Yousuf Khan

There's a couple of hardware platforms I'm using, a desktop and a laptop. It's in the laptop I'm mainly interested in this functionality, of course. My laptop is a Gateway M6440 laptop, from around 2006. I'm currently using Ubuntu 9.10, which has already seen two kernel updates since its release. Yousuf Khan

Just a headsup that apparently a bug in the automatic partitioning in 9.10 setup doesn't set a big enough swapfile to enable hibernation to work properly. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced.
