Linux 3.8-rc1

[ft_]

quite hard in a laptop to do that.
And my hardware is Intel's (e1000e driver), not exotic at all.
I may be wrong, but imho it's clearly a kernel issue.
I do not know if an Ubuntu bug report is already done ? It is a critical issue.

Mine is an Intel 1000T. It's not exotic either, but...

That controller is going on 12 years-old, and I *think* the Linux maintainers clear out the cruft, from time-to-time.

My DEC "Tulip" card is equally non-exotic and old (I see them all the time at Goodwill for $4.99 USD), but...

There are zillions of DEC chipsets still being used in enterprise servers, et cetera. If they quit supporting "Tulip" chipsets, everything would come crashing down like a house of cards. So, it's a safe bet, "they" aren't going to strip support any time soon.

If it was me, I'd replace network-manager with WiCD, and see it that gets you back online...

Somebody here wrote a workaround that I quote here.
So :
1- do a

lspci

to note the ethernet controller pci number
2- go to

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:xx.0/power

where xx is the above number
3- edit the

control

file and put

on

instead of

auto

This operation needs to be done again back from suspend.
Is there a bug report about that ?
