[SOLVED] network disconnected when resume from suspend

**Thomaseov** · December 3rd, 2008

worked for me with an atheros card, intrepid on a laptop. Networking was all screwed up after suspend and refusing to connect, linux4me's suggestion did the trick.

Thanks. This fixed the same problem I was having in Kubuntu 8.10 Intrepid.

@linux4me

You are a beautiful, beautiful person. I can't tell you how frustrated I've been by this issue since 8.10 came out.

Thanks. Worked like a charm.

I used the fix suggested here by linux4me (and in the Release Notes [1]), and now I am experiencing another problem.

Upon resuming my networking is disabled. In this case, fixing it is simple... I just right-click on the network manager icon and check the box labeled "Enable Networking" and everything works smoothly. However, this is definitely a regression from previous behavior, and is kind of annoying. Anybody know how to fix this issue?

Sorry for the misguided thread "hijack".

I posted here because this thread repeatedly came up when I was searching for a solution, which made me think that others with a similar problem would end up here as well.

As you suggested, I've started a new thread with the new issue:

Worked on my IBM ThinkPad X31 with AR5212 802.11abg NIC. Thanks for saving my suspend.

Thanks worked for me.

Note for other people looking, it did not work at first. I had a 7.10 upgraded to 8.04 upgraded to 8.10 and I had played with networking setup trying to get WOL. On a fresh install of 8.10 adding SUSPEND_MODULES="forcedeth" worked perfectly.

Tried what you proposed but it didn't work for me. In the end simply disabling rt2500pci and installing a Windows driver using ndiswrapper according to this post

did the job.

Thanks anyway. Reading this and some other threads eventually helped me to make the right conclusions.

I'm running Kubuntu Karmic using KDE 3.5.10 and nm-applet on an Averatec 3280. Wireless card is a RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI.
