lose net connection when waking from sleep (dually 867 and linksys router)

[Gary Jaz]

I have a dually 867 (10.2.8) and a cable modem which has run fine for
months. I just got a wireless linksys router BEFW11S4 ver. 4. I
don't have a wireless card for the dually so it's connected to the
router with a cat 5 cable. My laptop connects to the router fine
witha wireless card. The dually works fine, but when it wakes from
sleep it won't connect to the net. I have to unplug the router and
plug it back in. I open the network pane and switch to manual ip
settings, apply it, then switch back to dhcp and apply. Then it
works.

This is quite a hassle. What can I do to fix things so the mac can
connect to the net when waking from sleep?

Got it fixed now. Turns out that the firmware needed to be upgraded,
as this sleep issue was common before 1.45.3. So there you go.
