IPW3945 unable to restart after suspend

[thesoothsayer]

Binary package hint: hal

When I put my laptop, an AsusA8Fm running Ubuntu 6.10 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AsusA8Fm) into suspend mode and wake it up, the wireless driver ipw3945 is not loaded and the interface disappears from /sys/class/net/ (originally it's called eth1).

Attempts to manually reinsert the driver with 'modprobe ipw3945' gives the following output in the kernel log:

Attempts to remove (modprobe -r ipw3945) and reinstall (modprobe ipw3945) the module gives the same result as above.

Update: Seems to only occur when going into suspend with the WLAN turned off. Tried 5 times with WLAN on but could not reproduce.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please also add the output of 'sudo lspci -vvnn'? Thanks in advance.

[thesoothsayer (thesoothsayer)]

Output from lspci -vvnn attached.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Could you elaborate as to your meaning when you say it only happens when you going into suspend with the WLAN turned off? What steps would I take to reproduce this? Thanks again.

[John Dong (jdong)]

I can reproduce this. It happens MOST OFTEN when hardware switch is OFF when going into standby. Basically:

(1) Switch hardware wifi switch off
(2) Go into standby
(3) Come out

90% of the times, wireless is not restored. eth1 shows up with no wireless extensions.

I've attempted to kill, remove run-lock, and restart ipw3945d. No luck. Flick hardware switch -- nothing happens.

But killing the daemon, removing the pid lock, rmmod ipw3945, and modprobe ipw3945 does restore operation.

This has not happened before Feisty.

[thesoothsayer (thesoothsayer)]

On the laptop, there's a hotkey (ATKD 0000005d for Asus) for turning on and off the power to the WLAN that calls /etc/acpi/wireless.sh.

So basically, I think turning off WLAN here would be what the script does:

echo -n 2 > /sys/class/net/eth1/device/power/state;

And after that, I put the system into suspend. When it wakes up, the /sys/class/net/eth1 directory is missing and the ipw3945 drivers are also not installed.

Thanks for your effort!

Just a comment on John Dong's comment. I'm using Edgy Eft and it happens on my laptop.

Also, killing the ipw3945d-2.6.17-11-generic and restarting after that did not solve the problem for me.

Thanks.

That's what I asserted. However, killing the daemon, removing its
/var/run/ipw3945* lock file, removing the module, and probing the module
again works for me.

I'm gonna put that in my suspend hook if the next kernel upload doesn't
resolve this.

Thanks.

What I meant was, the step that worked for you did not work for me on Edgy Eft, unfortunately.

And the other difference is that the eth1 folder totally disappears.

Think I'll turn on the WLAN automatically before going into suspend or hibernation, for now.

I suspended with the wlan on and it didn't wake up after suspend.

[Adam Zieliński (zielus)]

I have the same problem on my IBM R60 with Feisty Fawn.

[Jyrki Pulliainen (jyrki-pulliainen)]

I've made a new bug of my problem: #99732

It's a bit similiar to this but the main difference is that my ipw3945 doesn't switch kill switch off when returning from suspend. There's no difference if I unload the module before suspend.

Same problem with 7.04 and 7.10 here in a Dell Inspiron 9400. With 7.10, sometimes after suspend (if it resumes properly, which is only sometimes) I can make it work again.

[Divilinux (divilinux)]

Have u tried to modify /etc/default/acpi-support ?
You ca nadd ipw3945 to this line:

# Add modules to this list to leave them in the kernel over suspend/resume
MODULES_WHITELIST="ipw3945"

I had this problem but I've found a temporary solution which that works, at
least for me.

After resuming from suspend, I turn off the wireless and on a second later
with my laptop wireless off/on button, and I go to the console and type
"sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart". After that everything should be ok.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
