It's to be expected that if the Wi-Fi chip is powered down then it can't be used.

My problem is that, most of the time when I start or resume my laptop without having connected the AC power cable before, I am not able to connect to my wifi network. If I just suspend my laptop, connect the AC power and resume, then the wifi connection gets ok in 2 seconds. I would like to be able to use my laptop without AC power. I am sure that there is nothing to see with my battery. It's a new laptop. Is it linked to the current power saving strategy that I am using? I modified nothing. So I think I am using the default ones. I am using Precise Pangolin since it's beta1. Is there some defaults that are wrong? Thanks for your help, /Etienne ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 $ uname -a Linux xxxxxxxx 3.2.0-24-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 08:43:22 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ dpkg -l | grep network-manager ii network-manager 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu3 network management framework (daemon and userspace tools) ii network-manager-gnome 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2 network management framework (GNOME frontend) ii network-manager-pptp 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu1 network management framework (PPTP plugin core) ii network-manager-pptp-gnome 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu1 network management framework (PPTP plugin GNOME GUI) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/990898/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
