Ethernet down after resume. Tumbleweed

**RaveNBlack** · 13-Oct-2015, 13:34

Hi, a few days ago I've switched from OpenSuSE 13.2 to Tumbleweed.

When i suspend my laptop (close the lid) and resume it afterwards, the ethernet (not WiFi) is unavailable, i.e. it does not reconnect.

I've tried restarting Network Manager server, but all it does is add second Network Manager applet in systray.

Google searched suggests editing /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules and adding SUSPEND_MODULES="$SUSPEND_MODULES [module_name]", but I don't have "pm" under /etc. I've tried creating the missing directories and the unload_modules, add the SUSPEND_MODULES bit, but it didn't help.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Some more information is required to help diagnose this. To start with...following a resume, capture the output from

Code:

ip link

Code:

systemctl status NetworkManager

Code:

journalctl -u NetworkManager

If you don't have internet connectivity on this machine, then you could cupy/paste output to a text file and transfer via memory stick.

If sleep hooks really do turn out to be needed (for module unloading/reloading), then it needs to be done using systemd methods...

Thank you for the link. I've verified that running

Code:

sudo /usr/sbin/modprobe -r r8169 && sudo /usr/sbin/modprobe r8169

after resume fixes the issue. Unfortunately, it is not clear to me how to achieve this using service file.

Create a service file eg etc/systemd/system/r8169-reload.service

Code:

[Unit]
Description=Reload wireless driver after system resume
After=suspend.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/modprobe -r r8169
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/modprobe r8169

[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target

Then enable and start the service

Code:

systemctl enable r8169-reload.service

Code:

systemctl start r8169-reload.service

Hope that does the trick.

Thank you for the file, unfortunately, when i try to enable the service (with sudo) I get this message "Failed to execute operation: Bad message".
I don't see the service Yast service list and my network card still not available after resume.

Starting the service (with sudo) on the other hand, does reload the kernel module and fixes the issue.

Strange, implementing that service works for me without issue. My NIC uses the same driver, although I don't suffer the resume problem you've described.

Try enabling the service manually with

Code:

mkdir /etc/systemd/system/suspend.target.wants

Code:

ln -s /etc/systemd/system/r8169-reload.service /etc/systemd/system/suspend.target.wants/r8169-reload.service

Start it with

Code:

systemctl start r8169-reload

and then try suspending/resuming again.

Thanks for the advice. I've created the symbolic link but it didn't seem to help. Trying to enable the service throws the same error. It does not reload kernel module on resume, but does reload kernel module if I manually start the service as before.

Creating the symbolic link should be all that's required to have it enabled ie no need to run 'systemctl enable...' after that. I can't replicate the error you're getting, so hard to advise further...

What does the following command report?

Code:
