et131x driver needs to be un-/reloaded on suspend/resume

[Bernhard Gehl]

On resuming from suspend, the et131x driver needs to be removed (rmmod et131x) and reloaded (modprobe et131x) to get a working network connection. Would it be possible to add this exception to some config file (/etc/defaults/acpi-support seems to be deprecated)?

Try adding a line `SUSPEND_MODULES="et131x"`
in /etc/pm/config.d/01_suspend-modules (it probably doesn't exist, so
you'll have to create it).

Ok, so that is where the config files are now... Stupid me :-)

Anyway the solution works - is there a way to get this done automatically? The driver is part of the kernel image, should the exclusion be put into the postinstall of pm-utils or linux-kernel-image?

Looking at the kernels we have in supported releases, I think this problem was fixed in 2011:

Marking Fix Released.
