When I hibernate my laptop and then I resume, my wifi
adapter no longer works (no network detected and the led
doesn't show up). Neither with networkmanager nor
wifi-radar. I tested and it seems that the bug comes from
the latest kernel packages. Indeed, the problem doesn't
appear with 2.6.24-1, but it is present with 2.6.24.1-2 from
core and 2.6.24.2-1 from testing.
I tried to unload/load the module after resuming but the adapter still doesn't seem to work. I think I didn't noticed any error in the kernel log, but I can provide it if needed. Steps to reproduce: - Hibernate the laptop (indeed with gnome-power-manager). - Resume - Try to detect a network with wifi-radar or nm-applet |
This task depends upon

This might not really help you, but shows that this is not a generall problem.
Indeed the package was not available for 2.6.24.1 so I didn't have it loaded. When I upgraded to 2.6.24.2, the acerhk was also upgraded. I realized that because I finally recompiled acerhk with 2.6.24.1 and then the problem appeared.
So now I switched back to the latest kernel, and if I take care to unload it in the suspend/hibernate scripts, then the problem is solved.
Hopelessly the acerhk module seems unmaintained, so I don't know how to get this fixed upstream.
Of course I should consider reporting the bug upstream, but as I said, the module is currently unmaintained...
