[SOLVED] ASUS K52Jc - No Wireless resume after suspend/hibernate

Hello,

I have a issue with my wireless AR9285 adapter on the new kernel. (Linux K52Jc 2.6.39-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 9 14:57:41 CEST 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 350 @ 2.27GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Everything works fine, until the laptop suspends. After resume, the wireless driver is not active anymore.
To get it working again I need to do the following:

modprobe -r ath9k
modprobe ath9k

I have already compile and installed the latest compat-linux drivers.
Also tried the AUR package.

I'm now trying to insert it onto the sleep scripts, but this doesnt work, still need to manual run the commands above to get it working again.
/etc/pm/sleep.d/57ath9k

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
hibernate|suspend)
rmmod ath9k
;;
thaw|resume)
 modprobe ath9k
;;
*) exit $NA
;;
esac

ASUS K52Jc
Arch Linux x64
Gnome 3

Could someone please help me? I realy need it!

Thanks!

Perhaps rc.conf pacnew has some new requirement?

Re: [SOLVED] ASUS K52Jc - No Wireless resume after suspend/hibernate

Perhaps you could read the examples given in /etc/rc.conf.pacnew which define how to setup networking in the various modes available.  This is a change in archlinux network setups.

If you haven't entered /etc/rc.conf.pacnew, you probably should do so.

No, rc.conf is not relevant here.

beta990, what application manages your network connection - netcfg, networkmanager, etc?

@Forum Fellow: networkmanager, this also the one I configured in rc.conf to startup.

I have read something about netcfg, but this is more for static wireless networks. (?)
I just always want to connect to other wireless networks, like my around my work area.

@lilsirecho: /etc/rc.conf.pacnew: No such file or directory

Could it be a kernel issue?
On the 2.6.38 kernel I sometime had this problem, not always.

Re: [SOLVED] ASUS K52Jc - No Wireless resume after suspend/hibernate

Solved by creating a custom script inside /etc/pm/sleep.d with the name ath.sh.
chmod +x

#!/bin/bash

resume_wifi()
{
    rc.d stop networkmanager
    rc.d stop network

    modprobe -r -f ath9k
    modprobe ath9k

    rc.d start network
    rc.d start networkmanager
}

case $1 in
    resume|thaw)
        resume_wifi
        ;;
    *) exit $NA
        ;;
esac

Still hope that it can solve without hacking.

Is this code legal? (can it run without any problems? Maybe faster?)

Thanks!

This is the version I use now, other is buggy, hope this helps everyone with an ASUS laptop and use suspend:

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
    hibernate|suspend)
        nmcli nm sleep true

        rmmod ath9k
        ;;
    thaw|resume)
        modprobe ath9k

        nmcli nm sleep false
        ;;
    *) exit $NA
        ;;
esac

@beta990 Thanks I'm using you script as well.

I have identical problems to beta990 on a Asus K52J Laptop with Gnome 3.

I've got this exact problem too. Just put the script in, hoping it works. Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] ASUS K52Jc - No Wireless resume after suspend/hibernate

Hey, I had the same issue, fixed it thanks to your script.

However, strange is that if you suspend the computer by issuing the pm-suspend command (without the script) instead of using the gnome-power-manager, there is no problem whatsoever.
