Comment 0 for bug 1130037

My laptop has a AR8162 ethernet controller. I use ubuntu 12.10 fully upgraded.

With the new updated 3.5.0-24 kernel, the new alx module provided works fine but breaks suspend/resume.

After a cold boot up, suspend/resume works fine only the first time it is used. If you want to do another one after the first resume, it fails, the system refuses to suspend and just locks the screen.

See the log below from /var/log/syslog :

Suspend/resume works fine with all the previous kernel provided through updates and a alx module built by myself from the source attached below.

Thank you
