Ubuntu WiFi Issue After Suspend

The document is a question posted on Unix & Linux Stack Exchange asking why a user loses their WiFi connection after suspending their Ubuntu 20.04 computer. The user provides details that running lspci after suspend shows unknown header types for their network controller and PCI bridge. Another user recommends the original poster try printing iwconfig and ip link show outputs and posting on AskUbuntu instead, and provides a potential workaround using a systemd script to remove and reload the driver module on suspend and resume.

Whenever the computer goes to sleep or is otherwise suspended, the WiFi connection is lost,
no networks are found.

Running Ubuntu 20.04 on a new Huawei Matebook D 15, problem has been happening since
Ubuntu installed.

When I run sudo wlp1s0 up , as other questions recommend, it says something along the lines
of Operation already in progress , and no combination of wlp1s0 down etc changes it.

The clearest output describing the problem is that running lspci -v after suspend includes

01:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822CE 802.11ac PCIe
Wireless Network Adapter (rev ff) (prog-if ff)
!!! Unknown header type 7f
Kernel driver in use: rtw_8822ce
Kernel modules: rtw88_8822ce

and

00:01.2 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Renoir PCIe GPP Bridge (rev
ff) (prog-if ff)
!!! Unknown header type 7f
Kernel driver in use: pcieport

Does anyone know what might be happening?

I really like the question. Even, I faced the same issue in Kali not in Ubuntu. And, it would be
better if you post this question in askubuntu. Askubuntu is only for ubuntu. If it is ubuntu
0 configuration issue than, peoples from askubuntu may answer the question better way. I am
adding some links of question related to yours.

1. wlan0 isn't working most of times

2. Wifi isnt working after using wifite [duplicate] (I highly recommend to read comment in this
question).

3. Unable to connect to wlan0 (Kali)

4. unable to connect to wireless connection

I am adding some information of that which is more likely to be your answer.

create a file named wifi-workaround.sh in /lib/systemd/system-sleep/ . To making the file


executable chmod a+rx /lib/systemd/system-sleep/wifi-workaround.sh . Add following scripts
to wifi-workaround.sh

#!/bin/sh
# When suspending/resuming, systemd will call executables in /lib/systemd/system-
sleep
# with the following parameters:
# $1 = either "pre" or "post"
# $2 = "suspend", "hibernate", "hybrid-sleep" or "suspend-then-hibernate"
INTERFACE=wlan0
DRIVER_MODULE=<driver module name>

case "$1" in
pre)
nmcli device disconnect $INTERFACE
modprobe -r $DRIVER_MODULE
;;
post)
modprobe $DRIVER_MODULE
nmcli device connect $INTERFACE
;;
esac

Don't stop suspending/resuming even if we fail somehow.

When I did the thing I notice my wireless was working fine and when I suspend and turn my
laptop on wlan0 Customize settings
was working fine but, Mobile Broadband wasn't working. I didn't need Mobile
Broadband that's why I didn't do any changes. But, after making the changes nearly 6-7 days
later I was suspending lot of times(I suspended nearly 10 times in 3-4 minutes) when I wlan0
was permanently gone. That's why nowadays I stop suspending anymore.. I just shutdown.
