2006-12-21 09:40:06 Duncan Lithgow description On my old laptop (ThinkPad T40p, ipw2100) if I had the following in /etc/network/interfaces then after a suspend/resume cycle the network card had re-associated with the AP and network was usable again: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp name home wireless-essid Burton wireless-key [snip] However my new laptop (ThinkPad X60, ipw3945) with an identical configuration doesn't do this. After resume it's unassociated: $ iwconfig eth0 eth0 unassociated ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Frequency=nan kHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm Retry limit:15 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 brings the network back, but I'd prefer not to have to do this every time I resume. Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'linux-image-2.6.15-26-686'; however, that package was not published in Baltix.

2007-01-17 17:27:30 Peter Whittaker linux-source-2.6.15: statusexplanation Please review bug #63418 - it may match your problems, and there is a new ipw3945 coming for Feisty (and Edgy). If the new ipw3945 addresses the problems in this bug, please mark it as a dupe. Otherwise, well, we'll burn that bridge when we get there...!
