I tried to post to this thread Hardware wireless switch has no effect after suspend and 13.10 upgrade for if I understand their question I am having the same problem, but the answer option won't work for.

After suspend, the wireless is disconnected and the only way to get it to reinitialize/be recognized is to do a full restart.

At first I thought it was my gnome-shell (for lock screen disappeared there with 13.10), but when I switched to the default Ubuntu it's still doing it and it's kinda driving me nuts for I have to reopen all my files and browsers/tabs/windows every time. I don't know how to show the terminal stuff the above asker shows, but it sounds like the same issue and it only started with 13.10 upgrade a few days ago.

Any help would be much appreciated!!! -- Thanks so much, ser.

I don't know about a official fix of this problem, but

sudo service network-manager restart

works in the meantime.

Bof's answer solves the problem in a one off fashion, but these steps solved the longterm issue for me:

sudo touch /etc/pm/sleep.d/wakenet.sh

sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/wakenet.sh

sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/wakenet.sh

Insert the following lines:

#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
thaw|resume)
nmcli nm sleep false
;;
*)
;;
esac
exit $?

And then save.

  • Thanks for the tip. I would love to just flag duplicates, but I don't seem to have the authority to do so and want to be able to give other users any assistance that I can. Is there any way for me to be able to mark duplicates for moderator review? Is there some other behavior that I can engage in to be helpful but not create more work for moderators? I'd hate to just leave a person's question languish if I am able to do something to help.

  • If you are able to flag at all (with a custom flag, for example), simply mention the two questions that are duplicates.

I was having this same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 and after a couple of days of trying to fix it, I found a file inside /etc/pm/sleep.d/ which is called 99dw1704.
This file handles disabling and enabling the wl module on hibernate and suspend. All I had to do to fix it is to run: sudo chmod -x /etc/pm/sleep.d/99dw1704 and everything ran fine after this.

Run sudo killall wpa_supplicant (found in the Ubuntu bugtracker).
