Bug Description

****Fixed in 2.6.37-rc2****

Wireless networking is not recovering after sleep or hibernate. The system is using U:NR 10.10 although it did exist in 10.04 as well.

The issue seems to be with the ath9k default wireless driver setting random values after sleep / hibernate. When the module is rmmod / modprobe, then wireless can resume. Presumably, this action reseeds the wireless connection with default blanks, allowing for reconnection with the wireless access point.

This will affect all systems where the hardware is not setting the values to zero on a reset.

A patch for this problem may exist:

Thank you; this bug requires CLI or a reboot to correct and is therefore reasonably important for novice users.

Ugh, that was easier than I thought. All I had to do was download the linked file and have the package manager install it.

It does work on my machine, and it works instantly. Thank you very much.
