I have an Asus EeePc 1001PX and on resume I have “Network Management disabled”, neither wired nor wireless interface can be configured, the NM icon is greyed out. running ifconfig shows eth0 and wlan0 have disappeared completely.
I found 2 options:
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/555571
- Network management disabled after start on 11.2 - openSUSE Forums
but I don’t have the /var/lib/NetworkManager folder at all. Any one know how to fix this? Thank you.
PS. I’m running openSUSE 11.2 and KDE4.4.x (release version)
Hi. I have the same problem with my Thinkpad R50e (openSUSE 11.2 and KDE 4.4).
My workaround is
rcnetwork restart
as root. Sometimes, when I connect to a different network after resume I’ve to do
netconfig update -f
to be able to surf (as root, too). In the most annoying case I even have to restart knetworkmanager.
It’s so weird - after playing with it for a while I found:
- if I suspend with wireless ON and regardless whether cable connected or not and then resume - NM works
- if I suspend with wireless OFF and cable connected and then resume - NM gets disabled
- if I suspend with wireless OFF and without cable connected and then resume - NM works
In my case it only gets disabled, when I suspend with wireless OFF and without cable connected and then resume. In the other two cases mentioned it works.
As I don’t see anything useful to me in /var/log/messages, /var/log/warn, /var/log/networkmanager and .xsession-errors I’m quite puzzled and don’t have any clue how to approach the problem. Besides, wasn’t there some error.log in previous versions?
For now, I can live with “rcnetwork restart” but if someone wants to help us out, here’s my smolt profile.
HI,
in opensuse 11.3 on a HP Envy, what I did as sudo was:
- rm /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.status
- rcnetwork restart
The problem happened when the machine couldn’t restart after suspending
