[Dextrose] Wanting to know a bit of (NetworkManager) workflow upon resume-from-suspend

[Ajay Garg]

Thanks Paul.

I will give it a try myself.

Just one last question ::
I suppose that 'echo 0 > "/sys/class/net/eth0/lbs_mesh"' is a hack that is
olpc-customised. So, I will be really grateful if you could point me to
some docs (a wiki page may be), that provide information as to how this
hack affects, and is affected.


Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Ajay
