Re: network goes down on close of laptop lid

["John H." <mistamaila gmail com>]

I am not sure I even have "power scripts" which run on lid close.  The
problem is that when I try to get on the network after opening lid,
half the time it shows my network without wpa, so I sometimes have to
restart X just to get it to acknowledge there is wpa on the network
again, and even then it still asks for user/pass.

most recently I had to actually specify "other network" and tell it to
use encryption after reopening lid just to get back on.
