When I hibernated my computer and I fire him back up, my network connection is lost in about 50% of the cases. The network applet finds other networks, but it can't find the network I was connected to before the hibernate.

I have this most of the time with a wired connection but it also happens with a wireless connection.

I've tried re-plugging the cable (or switching off and on the wireless card), disabling the network via the network applet and re-enable it. The only thing that works is the following:

  • log out
  • log in back again
  • disable all networks
  • enable them again

Try restarting your network manager;

Open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo service network-manager restart

In general keep this command somewhere. It's pretty useful.

This is a bug that occurs on many systems (sorry I do not have the link to hand). I'm not sure there is a fix for it as yet, as previously it was solved (for me at least) but broken after some updates. Works for me on suspend right now though.

If it is with wireless only, there is probably not much you can do, but if it is with a wired network, your best is to report a bug against network-manager on launchpad.

You could also try switching to connman (I don't use this so cannot verify) as it might work better than networkmanager in your situation.

  • Well, the frequency is falling back. I estimate it now only happens 10% or maybe less of the hibernates and not 50% anymore. I think I could live with that.

  • well, it's still not completely gone, but it's just more difficult to test.

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 10.04 and used this solution:

Since installing Ubuntu 10.10 (fresh install) I haven't experienced this problem.

Hope that helps!

  • in any case, it didn't do anything bad. I will try it for a few days, if it keeps working, I'll mark this as the correct answer.
