8086:008a [Dell Inspiron 17R N7110] Upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10, network is disabled after suspend

[Viktor Tolnai]

Every time after I resume from suspend, the network is disabled. It means I can't re-enable it from the network indicator.

WORKAROUND: sudo nmcli nm sleep false

Viktor Tolnai, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/inspiron-17r-n7110 an update is available for your BIOS (A13). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Thank you for your understanding.
