Wireless Dead after Suspend

[iceandsnow]

I have FC 12 install on a Compaq nx9600 that comes with a Broadcom BMC4306 wireless card. I'm not sure what my kernel is, but I have all of the updates for FC 12.

Whenever my laptop resumes from Hibernation/Suspend my Enable Wireless check box in the Network Manager is greyed out and it will not come back till I reboot the computer. Is there any one out there that can help with this problem, as I do not want to disable my Hibernation/Suspend as I tend to forget to turn the laptop off for a few days on end, and this beast sucks a lot of power so it is a drain on my power bill.

Thanks in advanced for any help that will be offered.

Hello iceandsnow,

It's not unheard of. Many people have discovered that removing and then reloading the wireless driver module makes the wireless connection come back after resuming from suspend or hibernation. If that works for you, then there is a way to automate the process. This issue is discussed starting in post #7 of this thread...

Thanks, that did the trick, although I had to do a little tinkering in order to get it to work, but you pointed me in the right direction.

If an administrator can change the title of this post to add SOLVED that would be great.
