Suspending or hibernating makes my wifi totally unavailable without rebooting. Tried a couple tricks that don’t work. Otherwise it works beautifully. Kind of a big issue on a laptop though. I posted this issue on the 11.4 32 bit install, but decided to move up to 12.1 with Gnome 3.

As root, you need to create a file named /etc/pm/sleep.d/66_rtl8187 that
contains the following:
#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
hibernate)
echo "Suspending to disk!"
/sbin/modprobe -r rtl8187
;;
suspend)
echo "Suspending to RAM!"
/sbin/modprobe -r rtl8187
;;
thaw)
echo "Resuming from disk..."
/sbin/modprobe rtl8187
;;
resume)
echo "Resuming from RAM..."
/sbin/modprobe rtl8187
;;
*) echo "somebody is calling me totally wrong."
;;
esac
After the file has been created, then ‘chmod a+x /etc/pm/sleep.d/66_rtl8187’.
Once the procedure has been tested, you could remove the echo statements that
precede the modprobe lines if you want to make it quieter.
I cannot guarantee that this will fix your suspend/resume problems, but it will
remove rtl8187 from the equation.
Ok. I have done it and will try suspending.
You rock! That worked perfectly! YAY!
Though we fixed it, from what I gather it shouldn’t be acting that way. Should I file a bug report?

You may if you wish; however, I will not be able to fix it as my system will not
suspend.
Well, I don’t even really understand this issue but want to make sure somebody can work on it. Any suggestions?

The command ‘modinfo rtl8187’ shows 5 authors for this driver. Of those, I am
the only one still active, thus I would probably be the one to fix such problems.
O! I would never have guessed. I’d be happy to work with you as I can to debug it.

Unfortunately, my experiences with this kind of remote debugging have never been
very successful. I guess I need to fix whatever is wrong so that my box can
suspend, and then debug rtl8187. I’ll add that to my TODO list.
