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.

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.
