[TriLUG] ifconfig?

[Fred Stutzman]

ipconfig /release - /etc/rc.d/init.d/network reload
ipconfig /renew - /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

If you are seeting eth0 down, you might simply want to execute 'ifup
eth0', this should bring the adapter back online.  The bigger issues seems
to be why is your adapter disappearing after standby.  Is the standby bios
level or is it you executing apm -s.  

Instead of messing with bios level standby on laptop, I usually disable
that and run apm -s.  Yeah, not as convenient as just closing the thing,
but at least with apm you know what you're getting.  Good luck!
