F13: No wireless after suspend using iwl3945

[dillinga]

Hi,

My Vaio suspends just fine and wakes up everything except my wireless card. It seems it is completely dead - not just unable to scan for networks.

This is what I see after resume:

iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3

I'm currently running on 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686 with iwl version:

Anyone else found this?

Thanks,

Maybe. Try manually removing the wireless module with modprobe, and then immediately reloading it with modprobe. Give NetworkManager a several seconds to go back to work, and then check for reconnection or for available networks. If that works, you can create a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d to automate the process. See how neeravbm did it with the b43 module here...

Thanks Stoat. I have actually experimented with rmmoding iwl3945 prior to suspend and probing it straight after but I still get the same message repeated.

Going to try rmmod and then turning the wireless off with the switch first..
