Network on PCMCIA Network card not restored after suspend/sleep

[SimonWerner]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

This is a problem on Gutsy Gibbon as well as Feisty Fawn. I only use the standard release.

To reproduce:
1) Start the computer, use dhclient to assign an IP address to the PCMCIA NIC (eth1). This is not done automatically after installing Ubuntu (see bug #45295).
2) Put the computer to sleep/hibernate - either manually by hitting the Fn-Sleep key, or waiting X number of minutes until it goes to sleep automagically.
3) Resume the computer. The network does not work.

Hardware:
Make: IBM Thinkpad R40
Model: R40 2681-26M (has an onboard NIC, but this does not work since it is physically broken, but Ubuntu configures it as eth0)
NIC: PCMCIA Network card: Xircom 10/100 PCMCIA combo card (also a modem).

Workaround:
For this problem I have a workaround. Create a file in /etc/acpi/resume.d/ called something like "66-PCMCIA_INSERT.sh", in the file put:
    #!/bin/bash
    dhclient eth1
You need to make sure the file is executable, to do this run 'sudo chmod 755 /etc/acpi/resume.d/66-PCMCIA_INSERT.sh' on the command line.

I will attach a lspci file.

The Hardy Heron Alpha2 release will be coming out soon. It will have an updated version of the kernel. It would be great if you could test with this new release and verify if this issue still exists. I'll be sure to update this report when Alpha2 is available. Thanks!

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Hardy Heron Alpha2 was recently released. It contains an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha2 release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report back your results. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha2 . Thanks!

This is still a problem in Hardy Heron Alpha 2. But I think it may be solved if bug #45295 is solved.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.
