waldschrat, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains, could you please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER If reproducible, could you please provide the information following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend ? If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.3.13-rc7 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Package changed: acpid (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254731 Title: Network on PCMCIA Network card not restored after suspend/sleep Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: acpid Hello I am using Ubuntu 8.04.1 At first: This bug might be related to the following bugs: - #[152533] - #[108441] - I am using a Compaq Evo N620 laptop computer, with a Realtek Semiconductor RTL8180L pcmcia wlan card. - I do not use Network Manager (it is not even installed). - I am using wpa_supplicant in roaming mode to connect to my wpa_psk encrypted home network. The bug: When resuming from (acpid 1.0.4-5ubuntu9) suspend, the wlan connection is not restored. The solution: Lets have look at the file where acpid shuts down the network interfaces: original `/etc/acpi/suspend.d/55-down-interfaces.sh` {{{ #!/bin/sh pccardctl eject # Get rid of any currently running dhclients killall dhclient dhclient3 2>/dev/null # Find the currently running network interfaces... INTERFACES=`/sbin/ifconfig | awk '/^[^ ]+/ {print $1}'` # And shut them down for x in $INTERFACES; do ifdown $x; ifconfig $x down; done }}} As you can see, the pcmcia cards are ejected before checking, witch interfaces are configured. After resuming, the script `/etc/acpi/resume.d/62-ifup.sh` only restores those connections, that were checked to be configured. That explains why pcmcia network devices are not set up when resuming from suspend. We can fix that easily by moving {{{ pccardctl eject }}} to the end of the file. Now imagine the case, that our pcmcia card is configured, then we suspend the machine, pull out the pcmcia card and then turn the machine on again. We certainly dont want `acpid` to run `ifup` for the ejected interface. original `/etc/acpi/resume.d/62-ifup.sh` {{{ #!/bin/sh # Bring up the interfaces (this should probably be left up to some policy # manager, but at the moment we just bring back whatever we ifdowned) for x in $INTERFACES; do ifup $x & done }}} Hence we have to check, witch interfaces are still available when resuming: patched version of `/etc/acpi/resume.d/62-ifup.sh` {{{ #!/bin/sh # Bring up the interfaces (this should probably be left up to some policy # manager, but at the moment we just bring back whatever we ifdowned) # Find all interfaces which are currently available AVAILABLEINTERFACES=`/sbin/ifconfig -a | awk '/^[^ ]+/ {print $1}'` for x in $INTERFACES; do for y in $AVAILABLEINTERFACES; do if [ $x = $y ]; then ifup $x & fi done done }}} Having done this, pcmcia network devices '''not using wpa_supplicant in roaming mode''' should be set up correctly when resuming from suspend. Now to the problem with wpa_supplicant. If wpa_supplicant runs in roaming mode, meaning the `/etc/network/interfaces` looks like {{{ auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-driver wext wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf }}} then the wpa_supplicant is started in background by `ifup`. On the other hand, if you shout down the interface using `ifdown` (as `/etc/acpi/suspend.d/55-down-interfaces.sh` does), the wpa_supplicant process is not beeing terminated automatically. If you then try to set up the network interface again using `ifup` (as `/etc/acpi/resume.d/62-ifup.sh` does), the `wpa_supplicant` is not started correctly. (This might be a bug of `wpa_supplicant` or `ifupdown`, but it is easy to implement a work around here.) Fortunately the `wpa_supplicant` brings a script called `/etc/init.d /wpa-ifupdown` to terminate any wpa_supplicant process that was started by `ifupdown`, so we just have to invoke that script in `/etc/acpi/suspend.d/55-down-interfaces.sh` before running `ifdown` on all active interfaces. patched version of `/etc/acpi/suspend.d/55-down-interfaces.sh` {{{ #!/bin/sh # Get rid of any currently running dhclients killall dhclient dhclient3 2>/dev/null # Find the currently running network interfaces... INTERFACES=`/sbin/ifconfig | awk '/^[^ ]+/ {print $1}'` # Shut down anything, that runs via wpa_supplicant if [ -x /etc/init.d/wpa-ifupdown ]; then /etc/init.d/wpa-ifupdown stop fi # And shut them down for x in $INTERFACES; do ifdown $x; ifconfig $x down; done pccardctl eject }}} I have applied these changes to my system and now it runs perfectly. I hope I could help any one out there.
