Can't Connect To Internet via eth0 after suspending

[gdawg]

Hi, I'm having a problem connecting to the internet after I've suspended. I have a ZyXEL, P-600 series router and the ethernet indicator lights-up but doesn't connect. I have the Enlightenment version of PCLinuxOS.

Code: [Select]

jane@daisy > ~ $ uname -r
2.6.38.8-pclos1.bfs

jane@daisy > ~ $ uname -a
Linux daisy 2.6.38.8-pclos1.bfs #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun 4 04:13:21 CDT 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I've just noticed this anomaly since I rarely use suspend.

You might try as root user:

Code: [Select]

service network restartor

Code: [Select]

ifup eth0or both.

Thank you gseaman. I'll give those commands a try the next time the problem occurs.

Kind regards,

you could try installing a newer kernel, 2.6.38.8-pclos3 or 3.2.18

if you have lots of ram, 4gbs, you can install pae kernel

if you have a atom or a amd cpu, a64 kernel can work too

install a couple more kernels, boot form them and try them to see if eth wakes up or not

[gdawg]

Thanks for your advice T6. I'll keep those in mind the next time I use suspend. I followed gseaman's suggestions but no connection. I always have to reboot. This only happens after waking from 'suspend'.

Kind regards,

Glen

Well I've tried all previous suggestions but still no joy. All help will be appreciated. I have 2 distributions of PCLinuxOS installed, one is the Enlightenment version and the other is 2012 version. I have the same problem with both of them. They are both fully updated.

[T6]

both pclinux you have, what kernels are you using on those?

what suggestions you tried, install a newer kernel?  did you restarted and then selected the new kernel letting it run for the first time?

[gdawg]

On the 2012 version I changed to the following kernel:

Code: [Select]

[jane@localhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain [u]2.6.38.8-pclos3.pae.bfs [/u]#1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 8 18:23:21 CDT 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/LinuxI haven't changed the Enlightenment kernel. Thanks for your help.

[T6]

there is another kernel to try

also could be helpful to tell us what hardware do you have there, as you know, there is uncooperative hardware that could require a special fix to suspend/hibernate
