Network disabled after resuming from suspend (not a driver issue)

[dissdigg]

problem persists

lspci shows:

02:08.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g

Does anyone know of a fix for this? It's the only thing turning me off to Ubuntu...

There are a few possible solutions listed on the bug report [1]. I haven't had a chance to try any yet (there was a suggestion posted just Friday), but the problem is definitely being looked at, and hopefully should be fixed soon.

What's working for me currently involved three changes. I'm not sure what the minimal set of changes is, but it works.

1. /etc/pm/config.d/00sleep_module

SUSPEND_MODULES="ath_pci"

2. /etc/pm/config.d/local

SUSPEND_MODULES="ath_pci"

3. a resume script:

# 2009-03-01: below are some things I tried that helped somehow
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo modprobe wlan_scan_sta
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo modprobe ath_pci

A very similar fix worked for me:

1) sudo gedit /etc/pm/config.d/00sleep_module

added this text as the last line in the file and saved:

SUSPEND_MODULES="wl0"
(note: it's a Dell mini9 with a Broadcom 43xx wireless adapter)

2) sudo gedit /etc/pm/config.d/bcmwifi
(note: this file does not exist, but I created it)

added same text (SUSPEND_MODULES="wl0") as only entry in this file and saved.

Now when I resume from suspend, I don't need to go to terminal to issue any commands...if my wireless was connected before suspend, it automatically reconnects afterwards.

Thanks to gib2800 at this post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...resume+network) as well as a few other posts where these solutions are suggested. I don't know which of these actions (or both?) did the trick, but it works.

I have an Edimax 7318usg wireless card, with a ralink chipset and rt73 driver.
I`m new to Linux. What would I need to do to get mine working after suspend?
Thanx in advance.

hello fellas ,i have a very simple solution ,while somehow it turns to be boring for me,but at least its better than rebooting and stuff,from menu go to system>administration>hardware drives then disable the network controller and enable it again(while doing that keep the wifi enabled in the network manager)then pick up your fav. network

i really hope it works for all,cheers,

The same fix worked for me on my Dell Optiplex gx620.

I only needed the first step, as outlined here:

I had the same problem with my Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG card. In order to turn the wireless radio on after a boot I have to run a script:

#!/bin/bash
sudo modprobe fsam7400 radio=1
exit

I finally figured out what was needed to keep my wireless going after a suspend -- just unload and reload the driver fsam7400 via modprobe after resuming from a suspend:

#!/bin/bash
sudo modprobe -r fsam7400
sudo modprobe fsam7400 radio=1
exit

This seems to work well for this particular driver.

Cheers!
