Can't find Intel Wireless-N 1000 after waking from sleep

Question

I've tried a lot of proposed solutions, most of them adding files to /etc/pm/config.d, as well as WiFi stops working after waking from suspend with a Broadcom 43225 and nothing has worked.

Is anyone else still having this problem? The two solutions I haven't tried are installing wicd and upgrading because I've heard both are kind of unstable/buggy and wicd frankly scares me.

pastebin of dmesg: http://pastebin.com/uJQYgzEM

Colleen, can you (1) boot from "off" (2) sleep (3) wake (4) Pastebin the output of dmesg (instructions) (5) write down the URL you get from step 4 somewhere (6) shutdown (7) boot, and since you'll have internet access then, post the URL as a comment (or edit your answer?) Many thanks! — ish, Jun 21 '12 at 19:43

Note: iwlagn was renamed to iwlwifi in Ubuntu 12.04 and later, so replace appropriately in the below steps if you are on 12.04.

This line, immediately after the PHY(sical) wifi interface is brought up, tells us about the source of your problem:

[29054.603501] iwlagn 0000:0d:00.0: fail to flush all tx fifo queues

It is related to this bug, even though you have a 1000 and not a 6250.

Solution:

After boot:
1. sudo modprobe -r iwlagn
2. sudo modprobe iwlagn bt_coex_active=0
3. Suspend/wake -- does it work now?

If it does, make it permanent by adding a file /etc/modprobe.d/iwl.conf, containing only this line:

options iwlagn bt_coex_active=0

sidenote: added this as an alias to my bashrc by doing: alias reboot_wireless='sudo modprobe -r iwlagn; sudo modprobe iwlagn bt_coex_active=0"' but when I open a new terminal window and say reboot_wireless it just says > like it's waiting for me to finish a command. What am I doing wrong? – Colleen Jun 26 '12 at 16:17
nvm -- had an extra " – Colleen Jun 26 '12 at 16:27
@Colleen, added a line at the end on how to make the setting persistent :) Very glad it worked for you. – ish Jun 27 '12 at 10:53

First thing I would try is switching the wi-fi device off and back on again using the switch / button on your laptop or card (or remove the dongle and plug it back in).

I've tried that too. The switch, I mean-- it's an internal card. – Colleen Jun 19 '12 at 15:24

it's a known issue which can be solved easily.

Check with

Code:

lsmod | grep -iE '802|ndiswr|forced|8139|hci|usb|1394|hid|..tv'

which modules can cause problems (left column) and add your wireless driver (here ath5k) to this list. Create a file with:

Code:

sudo touch /etc/pm/config.d/00sleep_module sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/config.d/00sleep_module gksudo gedit /etc/pm/config.d/00sleep_module

and add these modules according to this example:

Code:

SUSPEND_MODULES="$SUSPEND_MODULES ehci-hcd uhci-hcd usbcore forcedeth" save, close, and check SUSPEND/HIBERNATE

Edit: This unloads the modules and reloads them, so wake-on-wireless will not work (anymore)

I'm confused by "so wake-on-wireless will not work (anymore)"-- what do you mean by "wake-on-wireless" — Colleen, Jun 23 '12 at 22:58
