Hello everyone. I'm currently running Arch on my Acer Aspire 5735-6694 model laptop. It runs perfectly, and I've gotten most of the problems smoothed over. However, one still persists, and has persisted on every distro I've tried; my wireless will not work after I suspend and try to resume again.
Stopping whatever network managing server, wicd/networkmanager/etc., with /etc/rc.d/foobar stop and then unloading and reloading the module and daemon don't fix this. It's like it just breaks.
If anyone can help me remedy this, it would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Keveam!
"my wireless will not work after I suspend and try to resume again." -> What does it mean ? Is there a better error output from log files/terminal ?

I actually used to have this issue. If it's the same as mine, what will happen is that the wireless manager will simply refuse to connect to ANY AP after resuming. It will see it, it will go through the motions of connecting, but will never actually make a connection.
For me however, the latest updates have simply fixed it and I no longer have issues.

I know, I should have posted output. I don't know how to show terminal output for a suspend/resume error. My bad. Is there a way to get terminal output for this problem?

What updates specifically?
Offline
Kernel updates. Not the VERY latest kernel updates, but fairly recent. I however made the switch to wicd also because networkmanager is MUCH slower to connect, and even when it worked correctly it seemed to me to drop the connection too often and I'd have to wait for it to reconnect. That particular issues is, by far, NOT Arch-centric, but happens in every OS that I used networkmanager on.

Does it still break on suspend?

None of the laptops I have Arch on have any issues with resuming wifi from suspend or hibernate any longer with current updates using wicd.

I have the same problem, but networkmanager works fine. Anyway, I like wicd better. Have you tried networkmanager?
