Description Cijoml Cijomlovic Cijomlov 2011-02-05 18:54:25 UTC 
After suspend/resume wpa_supplicant key is not reinicialized. Network stopped working.

My previous kernel 2.6.32.27 works no issues.

Eee:/home/cijoml# wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf  -i wlan0

Comment 1 Rafael J. Wysocki 2011-02-05 23:00:32 UTC 
What kernel version is the report against?
Comment 2 John W. Linville 2011-02-07 15:55:34 UTC 
What driver are you using?
Comment 3 Cijoml Cijomlovic Cijomlov 2011-02-07 20:58:43 UTC 
2.6.37, I tested both drivers staging RT2860STA and rt2x00. Both behaves the same way.
Last working kernel for me was 2.6.32.X with RT2860STA driver (rt2x00 was included later to vanilla kernel)
Comment 4 Alan 2013-12-11 12:17:38 UTC 

Closing as obsolete, if this is still seen on modern kernels please update
Comment 5 Cijoml Cijomlovic Cijomlov 2013-12-11 12:33:48 UTC 
This is still valid even for newest 3.12 kernel :(
Comment 6 Alan 2013-12-11 13:01:03 UTC 
Thanks
Comment 7 Stanislaw Gruszka 2013-12-11 13:49:01 UTC 
This will not be fixed, it is up to user space to establish connection correctly after resume from suspend. It worked before, because of using staging driver.

NetworkManager react properly on suspend/resume, if you want to use wpa_supplicant you should add hook to /etc/pm/sleep.d/ which which will stop/start supplicant on suspend/resume.
