After I resume from hibernation, the network is not automatically restored. I can live with that (although it's not what I expect from a polished OS), but no matter what I try from the command line, I can't bring up eth0 until I have physically unplugged the cable from the back of the machine and then plugged it back in again.
After doing that, I can then reload networking and I get an IP address successfully.
This is the output before unplugging the cable:
Code:

I've tried the following;
sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0
sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload
Beyond that, I would like to be able to programmatically unplug the cable and replug it again. Not sure how to do this? What if I remove the module from the kernel and then reload it? Is that possible? Would that have the same effect as physically unplugging it? Should I even be having to do this? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
My specs are:
Code:
$ uname -a
Linux peter-accent-ubuntu 2.6.35-32-generic #68-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 27 17:01:54 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
On a Accent 9115 laptop.
Using KDE Desktop (although I think I had the same problem when I was using Gnome.
This has been the problem ever since I installed Ubuntu 10.10 back in 2010.
Relevant lspci output (I think):
Code:
00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 02)
Let me know if you need any more info.
Many thanks.
Peter
