NetworkManager-0.6.6 is not able to reconnect to Wireless Network after recovery from Suspend. Same happens when restarting hald (0.5.10 - not tried with other versions). Only solution I found right now is restarting. Neither restarting NetworkManager nor unloading/reloading modules did help. Its a WPA2 encrypted Network and I am using a Intel Wireless card with the ipw2200 modules provided by the 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 kernel. Everything was working fine before upgrading to gnome-2.22 hald-0.5.10 and lots of other packages. I will attach nm's output, trying to reconnect in a separate Post. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./etc/init.d/hald restart 2./etc/init.d/NetworkManager start Actual Results: NetworkManager does not reconnect Expected Results: NetworkManager should reconnect to my Wireless Network

While playing around a little more I noticed that when stopping NM before stopping hald the Problem does not exist. Only whenever hald "stops" NetworkManager So I guess there is a Problem with the start/stop scripts somewhere with hald-0.5.10 (just my 2ct)
works fine here... pm-utils are supposedly telling NM to disconnect before suspending and reconnect on resume. Check /var/log/pm-suspend.log for more details maybe ?
I assume that could be the case with not connecting after resume. But how does it relate to stopping hald? Anyways nothing irritating in pm-suspend.log It seems to me, that the eth1 Interface does not get shut down properly when stopping hald (see. NM-log): Couldn't send DHCP 'up' message because: name 'com.redhat.dhcp.OperationInProgress', message 'interface eth1 is being released. Please try again later.' But I dont have a clue what that could mean. I'll attach my emerge --info in an extra comment.

Bug seems to be known upstream... (http://www.mail-archive.com/networkmanager-list@gnome.org/msg06138.html https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=236965 ) But I wonder where in Gentoo the equivalent to /etc/dbus-1/event.d/22dhcdbd can be found...
Works fine for me, even without pm-utils. I echo "ram" > /sys/power/state to suspend, and nm reconnects fine.
I'm still seeing this. Mostly when changing between Networks. I am able to recover the Network if i do /etc/init.d/dhcdbd restart. So i guess its rather a Problem with dhcdbd, than with hald or NetworkManager-0.6.6 Doesn't anybody else have problems after stopping /etc/init.d/hald?
I can confirm the error (running networkmanager-0.6.6, pm-utils-1.1.2.1, hal-0.5.11-r1, dhcdbd-3.0 over here) for me restarting dhcdbd also resolves the issue
I'm sorry for everyone bugged by this issue, but you seem to be those few who run into the race condition. Since neither NetworkManager upstream nor dhcpcd upstream want to fix the bug because dhcpcd is obsoleted by NM 0.7, I cannot see this bug here going anywhere. If no one has a good idea on how to work around this without breaking everyone else, I'll close this bug as UPSTREAM/CANTFIX.
"rmmod ipw2200" before suspend and then "modprobe ipw2200" after thaw should fix the problem. I'm not aware of any easy way to do that in gentoo. You could install sys-power/pm-utils, I believe it has a facility to offload the module
I also experience this bug occasionally when reconnecting to my university's WPA2 Enterprise network on resume, and today I probed around and noticed that there was a defunct dhclient process. Now dhclient is from net-misc/dhcp, so I just thought I'd ask the question: is that where the bug could be?
I understand upstream, but I think if we can kill the bug all the better. NM 0.7.0 doesn't seem to play well with kde 4 for me, so I don't see moving away anytime soon. I'm just glad I found that the work around was a simple restart of dhcdbd instead of restarting my system like I've been doing. I didn't read comment 12 in time to check if I had a defunct process but I'll keep an eye out for it. In the mean time some more info. I'm using hal-0.5.12_rc1-r6, dhcdbd-3.0, and no pm-utils. In fact I can't remember if it ever happened while I was hibernating/resuming (but I've been using tuxonice). The bug occured this time by switching my wireless router to a different one (basically just changed the MAC) and knetworkmanager just tried to reconnect with the same settings (which were same on the "new" router). But that isn't something I've done often so I know that other things have prompted it as well for me.
So with my luck (as I was upgrading the firmware on my router) it happened again. And sure enough I get that defunct dhclient. I did see in my log that dhclient says "can't create /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth1.leases: No such file or directory" And right before that NetworkManager says it's deactivating eth1 because it found a better connection (the same connection). Now, I don't even have a dhclient directory, so I'm not surprised that it couldn't create a file in it. And now I just restarted dhcdbd and I have a working connection (as expected) and still no directory. If I can get a way to reliably induce the bug, I will try it with that directory in place. Or maybe I'll look through the dhclient code (eventually).
Do you still suffer this problem with current stable networkmanager and a recent kernel? Works fine for me with nm-0.7.2 and kernel-2.6.31 Good luck
Created attachment 248611 [details] emerge --info networkmanager Yes, I do: kernel 2.6.34-gentoo-r6 networkmanager 0.8-r1 hal 0.5.14-r2 dhcpcd 4.0.15 After laptop Hibernate (low battery) nm can't recognize any network device. Do you maybe know some little workaround ? Cause i must use supplicant for wireless is uncomfortable for me.
If restarting dhcdbd or reloading the wireless driver is sufficient to fix the issue, you can use sys-power/pm-utils to hook suspend/hibernate. I use it to automatically unmount and then mount network fileshares. 'man pm-action' for documentation. Alternatively, have you looked at wicd as an alternative to nm? It has fewer dependencies and it operates independently of X.
/etc/init.d/dhcdbd does not exist (on my laptop of course) and this issue is related to both networks (wired and wireless). But i think i can follow your suggest to try wicd ... thanks
I just re-enable the network to make it work. So it is resolved for me (not really a bug). Anyway thanks for help!
Per comments on IRC from Alessandro Capogna, this is no longer an issue so closing the bug.
