I've had a few people write me direct to say they don't know the answer,
but actual sleep/recover works fine.

So, I'll expound a bit on my use case. My system lives on a network that
uses DHCP. Sometimes it moves between networks actually between
hibernate/wake up.

The dhcpcd does not seem keep track of it's lease time properly during
the sleep cycle (or maybe coLinux just comes up too fast before the
network is properly re-established, so dhcpcd never sees a reply from a
reachable dhcp server... either way, same effect).

Either way, I want to be able to catch the 'wakeup' signal so I can work
on getting an event to occur that gets dhcpcd to re-negotiate it's lease
properly.

I could brute force it by checking for large skews in the clock between
runs of a script, however if APM support exists, it would be a much more
elegant solution.

Thanks
