If you do too, it should do the trick. After some further investigation on Launchpad, it seems that most people who have this problem have an Atheros wireless adapter.

Thanks for the tip. I'd try that later too and give you a heads up if it works for me :D i hope it does! *crosses fingers* Hi, Red Five! Thanks for the tip.

I figured out a workaround that I scripted, so you can still hibernate or suspend your laptop. I sometimes use a wired connection, too, so I added lines for that adapter as well. If you run the script with gksudo (or the KDE equivalent), you won't have to open a terminal. BTW, my wireless adapter is an Atheros-based card, so replace the network device name and module name with the appropriate names. #!/bin/bash invoke-rc.d NetworkManager stop ifconfig ath0 down ifconfig eth0 down modprobe -r ath_pci modprobe -r tg3 modprobe tg3 modprobe ath_pci ifconfig eth0 up ifconfig ath0 up invoke-rc.d NetworkManager start The control script for NetworkManager is in "camel-case", so you'll need to watch that. tg3 is the driver for my laptop's wired adapter, as I mentioned above. So far I haven't had any luck making this run automatically upon resuming from suspend/hibernate, so I just hit Alt-F2 and execute it from there. Give it a try and see if it works for you.
