[ SOLVED ] Re: Network centre problem? (wakeup from resume)

[AS]

Sorry AS, took a little longer than expected.

Resume from sleep and hibernate works fine after quitting the net_applet. If I then try to restart the applet it runs but it seems the wifi card is not being detected

expand please: what you get from net_applet ?  
beside net_applet, do you have network working upon resume ?

No, there was no network. when I restarted the net_applet it came up and showed that it was connecting. This lasted for several minutes before timing out. Right clicking on the net_applet showed there were no active interfaces.

so it appear there is a problem about wake up the network adapter ...

That is how I'm reading it, previously the network would come back but then the net_applet displayed as ethernet rather than wireless

forget about net_applet, because it appear that while it was turned off the issue remain, that would lead you on the wrong track.
what network adapter, and what kernel module is it using ?

you can get those info running:

Code: [Select]

lscpi -nnk

I would try to switch module, to rt2800pci, rt2860sta is a "staging" driver, later merged in rt2800pci ...

OK I'll give it a whirl over the weekend, though Im being told the garden and allotment are more important. Thanks for the direction I'll report back with the results.

I'm going to move this last part of the thread on your own, as it appear to be a different issue.

OK, sensible move.

Hi AS, just letting you know the module switch fixed my problem. I really should have noticed that myself.

Many thanks for your time and help

EDIT
Could you mark this as solved please
