allow wifi to run while laptop lid is closed?

[bruce]

How can this be accomplished?

Can't find much via SO or the net.

Found plenty on the suspend/etc. Curious as to how to do this.

Thanks.

Mine works just fine....and I've not done anything.

Shut off suspend and hibernate modes. It depends on which power manager
GUI you have. In XFCE's Power Manager:

General tab: Set "Laptop Lid" to "Switch off display" for both
    "On battery" and "Plugged in".

System tab: Set "System sleep mode" to "Suspend" and run the
    sliders all the way to the left (for "Never") for both "On
    battery" and "Plugged in"

I think that'd do it. All you're doing at that point is blanking the
screen when the lid is closed. You've disabled all the suspend/hibernate
stuff.

Remember to re-enable that stuff when you want to go back to normal.

/etc/systemd/logind.conf
#HandleLidSwitch=suspend
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
