HOW-TO:Fix TBS6981 Sleep Issue

There is currently an issue with the TBS6981 where it does not currently support S3 sleep [REF], meaning that if the system that the card is installed in is put into a hibernate of sleeping state the card will not resume when the system wakes up. To work around this issue a sleep/wake script will need to be run which unloads the card before hibernate and wakes it when the system resumes.

To check to see if your card is experiencing this issue run the dmesg command and you should see lines like this appearing in the logfile

Open your favourite text editor and save the below script as 99_dvb ( or what ever you wish to call it )

move the file to the /etc/pm/sleep.d directory set the file permissions to 775, change the ownership to the Root user.
