Description Guillaume Ayoub 2011-02-27 16:52:46 UTC

As explained in f1e02ed109df5f99abf942b8ccc99960cb09dd38, a 60 seconds delay happens when resuming from suspend, freezing the system. After this delay, everything is OK.

2 workarounds:
- Install the realtek firmware, or
- Unload the r8169 module before suspending.

This delay was not happening with 2.6.37 (the firmware was included in the kernel). For the record, the firmware was removed from the kernel in bca03d5f32c8ee9b5cfa1d32640a63fded6cb3c0.

I'm ready to debug or test patches if needed.

I am having the same problem. Can you please tell me where I can get the firmware for realtek chips?

Comment 2 Guillaume Ayoub 2011-03-06 15:18:25 UTC

AFAIK, the easiest way to get the Realtek firmware is to take it from the Debian package:
http://packages.debian.org/fr/sid/firmware-realtek
