Wifi won't reconnect on resume

2009-04-13 Thread Patrick O'Callaghan
My Asus 1000HE netbook with F10 seems to work well, including suspend
and resume, but the Wifi will *sometimes* (results seem to vary) refuse
reconnect after the latter. No amount of fiddling with NM will persuade
it. It shows the connection as down and there appears to be no way to
make it reconnect, obliging me to reboot. On my desktop, a simple
left-click on the NM applet resets the (wired) connection, but it
doesn't work on the netbook.

Hints welcome.

I had that problem on F10 with my Acer Aspire One (Atheros I think) and
filed a bug report on it and the claim was that it was fixed upstream
(kernel)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466136

see if any of that pertains and solves your problem, perhaps re-open
with your specific issues

Thanks, but even if it is same issue the BZ thread implies that it's
fixed in kernel 2.6.30, which is not available for F10, and that someone
backported it to an older kernel but only for F9.

So it looks like I'll have to live with it for now (I note that Rawhide
is still only up to kernel 2.6.29).

Kernel-2.6.27 had a big fix for the Atheros chipset.
I had the same problem on a Asus eeePC 702 , Atheros 5007AG chipset and 
the 2.6.27 kernel starting at FC9 solved

the problems and haven't had anymore problem since.

You might try disabling NetworkManager and running system-config-
network -- if you haven't.

As I'm resigned to the fact that NM isn't going away, I'd rather get it
to work properly, thanks all the same.

I'm in the same boat with the same problem, if its any consolation.
Other than this glitch, NM works great.
