Ubuntu – 13.10 suspend kills wifi connection

13.10suspendwifi-hardware-switchwireless

I tried to post to this thread Hardware wireless switch has no effect after suspend and 13.10 upgrade for if I understand their question I am having the same problem, but the answer option won't work for.

After suspend, the wireless is disconnected and the only way to get it to reinitialize/be recognized is to do a full restart.

At first I thought it was my gnome-shell (for lock screen disappeared there with 13.10), but when I switched to the default Ubuntu it's still doing it and it's kinda driving me nuts for I have to reopen all my files and browsers/tabs/windows every time. I don't know how to show the terminal stuff the above asker shows, but it sounds like the same issue and it only started with 13.10 upgrade a few days ago.

Any help would be much appreciated!!! — Thanks so much, ser.

I don't know about a official fix of this problem, but

sudo service network-manager restart

works in the meantime.

Ubuntu – How to get a wireless USB keyboard to to wake Ubuntu 13.10 from suspend

I found an open source project that provides extra functionality for devices on the Logitech Unified Receiver. Installing that application and a udev rule from a fork of that project allows me to wake Ubuntu 14.04 from suspend using a wireless Logitech keyboard.

Install solaar from the (now) author's PPA.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:daniel.pavel/solaar
sudo apt update
sudo apt install solaar

If you don't have git, install it

sudo apt-get install git

Clone the fork with a corrected /udev rule

git clone https://github.com/3v1n0/Solaar.git ~/solaar

Install the /udev rule that will enable resume via the unified receiver

cd ~/solaar/rules.d
./install.sh

At this point, I unplugged the receiver and plugged it back in (as per instructions on the repo). Next, I launched solaar through the Dash and verified that my keyboard was communicating with the app. Finally, I rebooted and tested the Sleep button on the keyboard. After the machine was asleep, I was able to resume using any key.

Ubuntu – Ubuntu 16.04 on Dell XPS suspend occasionally fails

I had the exact same problem. The solution is to create a file in /etc/pm/config.d/ with just one line:

SUSPEND_MODULES="brcmfmac"
