Description James 2005-09-30 10:27:14 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
ACPI suspend-to-RAM/resume cycle breaks RealTek 8139 support with the 8139too driver. The driver is still loaded and can be reloaded, but it seems like the tranceiver isn't powered back up. The kernel logs then report "no link", and the interface cannot connect. Recovery requires powering the whole machine down, and then starting up again.

This problem is not present in kernel 2.6.12-1398.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Suspend to RAM.
2. Resume.
3. Attempt to bring up eth0.
  

Actual Results:  "no link" messages in the kernel log. No ethernet connectivity.

Expected Results:  RealTek card is fully powered up and can reconnect.

Test kernels w/ the above hack/patch available here: 
 
   http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fc4/ 
 
Please give them a try and post the results...thanks! 
 
P.S.  If they work, please attach the output of "lspci -n".  If they don't 
work, please attach the output of "sysreport"...thanks!

I've tried kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.jwltest.18.i686, and things appear to be
working now. (By the way... "older" card? I got this notebook a month ago! ;)
It's identified in dmesg as a RTL-8100B/8139D.)

Although I'm no kernel hacker, I check the source of a working kernel and notice
that the call to RTL_W8() was originally in rtl8139_hw_start(). Was there any
particular reason for this?

jwltest-8139too-resume.patch

This applies on top of the previous patch.  It seems davej like the first
(kludgey) one so much, he has already applied it... :-)

Comment 6 John W. Linville 2005-10-05 13:21:27 UTC
Test kernels with the above patch are available at the same location as in 
comment 3.  Please give them a try and post the results here...thanks! 

Comment 7 James 2005-10-06 08:02:27 UTC
I've just tried a kernel built from your 2.6.13-1.1528_FC4.jwltest.19 sources,
and 8139too suspend/resume still appears to be working OK. (Sorry for delay, had
to do a rebuild because I need the NTFS read module.)

Comment 8 John W. Linville 2005-10-20 15:09:09 UTC
I have posted this fix upstream.  It should filter into Fedora RSN... :-)
