[Lvlug] Stange iwconfig behavior

[Stuart Boreen]

Could you just use your distro's /etc/sysconfig/network 
scripts for resume? Is there an /etc/init.d/network 
script? After you stop the network and rmmod the module 
what happens if you just run the distro's script? Also 
(very minor point) you probably don't need ifconfig eth1 
up before dhcpcd eth1.
Dhcpcd will bring it up.
Just for fun, see where you are in your script after the 
iwconfig essid line, add 'echo " now the essid should be 
set" '
then 'iwconfig eth1' to see if you have the essid set at 
this point in your script..
Hope this helps..
