SYMPTOMS: This often shows up as an inability to use any wireless networks after suspending/hibernating and resuming. "iwlist config" will show an interface named "wlan0_rename" or similar. WORKAROUND: 1. sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules 2. Reboot /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules should have been regenerated correctly. Note that this probably will change the names of your network interfaces, particularly your wireless ones. If you rely on them having particular identifiers (eth0, eth1, wlan0 etc) for the purposes of custom scripts, firewall rules or anything similar, you may need to update these settings after the file is regenerated. FIX: The intended fix for this bug is described at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/183968/comments/9. It will eliminate the need for the workaround, but possibly only for new upgrades from Gutsy.
