A couple of automated work-arounds follows, depending on which version of the Ubuntu core you are using.
========================================== BEFORE systemd (earlier than Ubuntu 15.04) ========================================== Create the following executable Bourne shell script in /etc/pm/sleep.d: MYNAME=`basename` restart_ethernet() { /usr/bin/logger $MYNAME 'restart_ethernet(r8169) BEGIN' /sbin/modprobe -v -r r8169 /sbin/modprobe -v r8169 /usr/bin/logger $MYNAME 'restart_ethernet(r8169) END' } /usr/bin/logger $MYNAME 'case=[' ${1} ']' case "${1}" in hibernate|suspend) ;; resume|thaw) restart_ethernet;; esac ===================================== WITH systemd (Ubuntu 15.04 and later) ===================================== 1. Create executable Bourne shell script, /usr/local/bin/resume_r8169.sh: MYNAME=`basename` /usr/bin/logger $MYNAME 'restart_ethernet(r8169) BEGIN' modprobe -v -r r8169 modprobe -v r8169 /usr/bin/logger $MYNAME 'restart_ethernet(r8169) END' 2. In /etc/systemd/system, create resume_r8169.service that looks like this: [Unit] Description=Work-around r8169 inability to resume service after suspend After=suspend.target [Service] User=root Type=oneshot ExecStart=/bin/sh -c /usr/local/bin/resume_r8169.sh TimeoutSec=0 StandardOutput=syslog [Install] WantedBy=suspend.target 3. sudo systemctl enable /etc/systemd/system/resume_r8169.service -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771857 Title: Realtek 8168B (r8169) interface not working following suspend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/771857/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
