Reconnect wifi after suspend

I used to connect to my wifi network through the command line only, but now I installed wicd. However (and it's always been like this with Arch, not just after using wicd) after waking from suspend, I have to pkill dhcpcd in order to connect to the internet again.

How do I make it so that my laptop will just reconnect to the internet using wicd without me having to kill dhcpcd and connect again?

I'm using a Dell XPS M1330.

Re: Reconnect wifi after suspend

Is there any suspend script? Maybe you can put this commands to that script file in last case Why is it so important with wicd, if command line works ?

Well I don't really care whether it's a script or wicd that reconnects, just as long as it's automated. With our without wicd, currently I still have to manually reconnect via the command line.

That's strange, it reconnects just fine for me with WICD, but perhaps thats because the network im using is marked with "connect automatically to this one".
