You could try removing and reloading the relevant kernel module, which might be r8712u, based on https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x So, try "modprobe -r r8712u && modprobe r8712u" as root. I have to do this for a pci wifi adapter, when I start the laptop after hibernation. Actually, that reminds me: I also have a usb adapter which occasionally has the problem you have, though caused by the built-in pci adapter. It might be related to them both being part of the rt2x00 driver family. After waking up from hibernation, if the pci adapter --- using rt2500pci --- was in use before, I have to either reload or remove its module, to get the usb adapter --- using rt2800usb --- to work. But if I've removed the rt2500pci module, then the rt2800usb module will survive the hibernation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
