Hi,

You mean dhclient gets killed ? One way could be to kill dhclient when you
sleep. Afterwords, devd should restart it, right ? Unfortunatly I cannot
test this myself as resume on my lapton is horribly broken.

There is one:

/etc/dhclient.conf
#
#
#
omapi port 7911;

/etc/sleep_dhclient

#!/bin/sh

omshell > /dev/null << EOF
connect
new control
open
set state = 3
update
close

/etc/wakeup_dhclient

#!/bin/sh

omshell > /dev/null << EOF
connect
new control
open
set state = 4
update
close

Please tell me if you have success with these.
