Issue seems to have disappeared in kernel 3.9. As indicated in my last comment, I installed an upstream kernel (3.9.0-030900rc8-generic to be precise) and ran a 24 hour ping test. According to system logs no connection drops or loss of beacons. As a side effect, I could also remove the b43 from the list of SUSPEND_MODULES for the pm-utils (I couldn't get wakeup to work without reloading this kernel module after an upgrade to the first mainline kernel version 3 that came with an ordinary system upgrade if I recall correctly).
The only side-effect that I noticed that it takes about 3 - 4 seconds for the network manager (I'm using a Mate-based desktop) to indicate a re-established connection when waking up after a suspend. Assuming I will find the time, I'll investigate this delay with getting an IP address further and report my findings here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1142385 Title: B43 Wireless Autoconnect Failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1142385/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
