[ubuntu-uk] Restarting WLAN after Suspend - 9.10

2009-12-21 Thread Gordon
I find that if I use Suspend, and the machine is in Suspend for longer
than a few minutes, the WLAN stops and I can't restart it without
restarting the machine.
I presume there's a Command I can issue to restart the WLAN, can some
kind person tell me what it is?

Thanks!

Hi,

 If I single click right-click the network manager, top right. then
click the connection I wish to reset/reconnect. Network manager will do
so, does this not work after your PC has been suspended?

altenatively try
# sudo ifconfig eth0 up
or
# sudo ifconfig eth0 down

replacing eth0 with the right adpater.

:-)

Depending on your type of Wifi adapter unload and load the module:

sudo rmmod iwlagn  sudo modprobe iwlagn

or 

sudo rmmod ipw2200  sudo modprobe ipw2200

if you're using an Intel adapter.

No, it tells me Device not ready.

I'll give that a try!

Thanks

This behaviour isn't restricted to Ubuntu. I have the same problem with a
Windows XP laptop I have knocking about somewhere. Perhaps it is dodgy
wireless drivers?

Seems to not happen in Windows 7. :-(
