Problems with 6230 wireless resuming from sleep/hibernate

I am having problems with my Dell XPS 15 (502) resuming from sleep and hibernation.

After resuming, the wireless no longer works. I can reboot to restore it, but that's an annoying problem to have on a laptop.

My router is a netgear WDNR3700. I have tried upgrading drivers, bios, and updating the router firmware. I have tried turning off wireless N and and have all of the wireless power savings modes turned off.

Has anyone else seen this problem and come up with a workaround?

Thanks.

 

That started happening to me when I updated driver to the latest one from dell (14.1.1.3) .

Try rolling back to the older driver or download from intel directly.

Also I found that, if you disable and then re-enable the wireless usiing the keyboard it will work again.

Hope that helps

 

I had this problem on my old XPS 1530, but no problem on xps 15.

 

Mine runs fine on the driver on my Dell Driver CD from late April. Just did a resume from sleep this morning in fact.

 

Thanks for the replies. I'll see if I can rollback. I think I moved up to the latest driver to fix similar problems with bluetooth. It sounds like I'll have to choose between bluetooth or wireless.

 

There was no problem with the previous driver.
Latest one seems to be buggy.

 

Thanks, I'll stick with this old one then.

I generally don't update drivers except on reinstalls or if they fix glaring issues anyway. Performance of this card is great except for local file transfers that don't usually top 10-12 MB/s on a 300 MBit connection to a box connected to the router via gigabit...I can transfer ethernet-ethernet at 100MB/s....that's an issue for another day though.

Good luck to the OP.

 

I think I finally got it all working now. Thanks for the help.
I had to go back to some drivers from December to get everything working from standby. Even some of the newer ones before the 7/14 version didn't work right.

Wifi 6230 driver: 14.0.1.2 12/21/2010 (Dell R293144 dated 3/8)
Bluetooth 6230 driver: 1.0.67.20474 12/14/2010 (Dell R292782 dated 3/8)

I went into Programs and uninstalled the previous Intel ProSet drivers (probably my installations). Then I downloaded those two packs from Dell and installed them. The Wireless/Bluetooth driver section on the Dells website is very confusing since there are multiple links with similar names.

I've suspended/resumed several times and everything seems to work. I am surprised such a glaring bug would be released into the wild. At least I have my laptop acting like a laptop again!
