[ghomem <771857@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We found that after a resume / suspend cycle the interface goes back to
work if it is put in promiscuous mode. This was found by accident while
running tcpdump to see if there was traffic going through.

This can be tested afer resume with:

1.

ifconfig eth0 promisc
activate interface in Network Manager
.... will work

2. deactivate interface in Network Manager

3.

ifconfig eth0 -promsic
activate interface in Network Manager
... will fail

Therefore, the problem can be worked around by creating
/etc/pm/power.d/10_eth0_promisc  with

----------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

ifconfig eth0 promisc
----------------------------------------

and give this file execution permissions.

This will ensure that after resume the interface comes up in promiscuous
mode.

Title:
  Realtek 8168B (r8169) interface not working following suspend

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  After suspending and resuming, the network adapter appears to be
  active (Link UP) however it is not able to properly communicate data
  and appears in network-manager as disconnected due to the inability to
  negotiate DHCP successfully.

  The workaround, in my case, is to execute this "fixnet" script
  following the resume to unload an reload the r8169 module.  In 11.04
  the network manager automatically reconnects at this point.

  imac@repo:/usr/local/bin$ cat fixnet

  #!/bin/sh
  rmmod r8169
  modprobe r8169

  imac@repo:/usr/local/bin$ lspci -v | grep -i realtek
  0a:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)

  Here is a typical dmesg, showing the link up after resume (@5958)
  followed by my script execution (starting @ 6105).
