Hey ed021990,

I was having a problem with the wireless and ehternet after resume on my tx2500z as well, but I was able to fix it rather easily!

For the wireless:

Open up a terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/default/acpi-support

In this file, find

MODULES_WHITELIST=""

and change it to:

MODULES_WHITELIST="wl"

Save and close the file. That should get the wireless working after a suspend/resume.

To fix the ethernet after resume:

check to see what driver your ethernet card has:

lshw -C network

find your ethernet card, and see what it says for driver=
Mine is r8169

Type the following in a terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules

this should bring up a blank file,

add this line to the file with your driver name in the quotation marks and save/close the file:

SUSPEND_MODULES="r8169"

That should fix the ethernet.

Please let me know if this helped you.

I don't get it, I followed your instructions on the first page and yet my wireless and sound still don't work

instead of using the ethernet port I used a wireless dongle, could this be effecting the wireless install or what?

I would really like to try ubuntu as I work and do everything computer related with ms and I just want to try something different

my tablet is still good on windows though,

well I got sound to work but the wifi still does not work.

on a side note I tried booting with acpi=off and it hangs at an all text screen.

I would really enjoy this if my wireless was working,

nevermind, I found a working driver under system>administration>hardware drivers

sorry for being a noob : P

Is your sound still non-functional? I followed the directions as given, and the sound still didn't work initially, but some tinkering in System > Preferences > Sound got me there ...
