Abstract: A wireless electronic device includes a first application to output a first packet through a first virtual interface as a wireless electronic device moves from a home subnetwork to a foreign subnetwork. The wireless electronic device also includes a second application utilizing the Mobile Internet Protocol (Mobile IP protocol) to output a second packet through a second interface as the wireless electronic device moves from the home subnetwork to the foreign subnetwork. A common physical interface is tied to the first virtual interface and the second interface of the wireless electronic device, wherein the physical interface of the wireless electronic device receives the first packet and the second packet, and outputs the first packet and the second packet from the wireless electronic device after the wireless electronic device has moved.

Abstract: A resume processing driver for an advanced operating system, such as OS/2, is provided which saves data indicative of the operating conditions of the advanced operating system into system memory and then calls a previously existing resume processing routine designed for a previously existing operating system, such as MS-DOS. The previously existing resume processing routine performs additional processing in order to save operating condition data associated with the previously existing operating system into system memory, and then performs a controlled power off sequence and removes the power supplied to all elements of the computer except the computer memory. Thereafter, the existing resume processing routine performs processing to restore the operating condition data associated with the previously existing operating system from system memory and then passes control to the resume processing driver of the present invention.
