Dhcp renewal after wakeup

Sometimes you need a new IP address after waking up from sleep/standby/hibernate modes. Network managers like Wicd can do this and are recommended for laptops, but you can use the pm-utils triggers yourself without installing and running more software too. The following script works for me:
#!/bin/sh # # put this to: /usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/05DhcpcdRenew # /usr/lib/pm-utils/ .. on 32-bit systems case "$1" in hibernate|suspend) dhcpcd -k eth0 ;; thaw|resume) dhcpcd eth0 ;; *) exit $NA ;; esac
The script probably needs to be executable.
