I'm not sure this is the same issue, but it seems to be similar. I generally put my laptop to sleep (echo mem > /sys/power/state) when transporting it between home and work. But when switching networks - or perhaps when a lease has expired? - it fails to bring interfaces back up. That is, they are up, but with no IP address assigned.
I've tried to do ifdown, which prints a message about releasing the previous IP, followed by ifup, which prints the usual DHCP broadcasts, but fails to get any reply. Normally, I'd question the DHCP server, but this has happened on several different networks now, and a reboot always fixes it. I've tried to /etc/init.d/networking stop, and also killed NetworkManager and ..Dispatcher, as well as removed the (wired) LAN module (tg3) - the ipw3945 WiFi module seems to be in use, and I can't unload that. I'm not running Gnome, btw, but I don't think networking should depend on a particular UI. -k -- Wireless network interface (ipw2200) does not have IP address after boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34505 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
