<title>I have no wireless network when I wake up my computer</title>

<p>If you have suspended your computer, or it has hibernated, you may find that
your wireless internet connection does not work when you resume it again. This
happens when the <link xref="hardware-driver">driver</link> for the wireless
device does not fully support certain power saving features. Typically, the
wireless connection fails to turn on properly when the computer is resumed.</p>

<p>If this happens, try switching your wireless off and then back on again:</p>
<steps>
  <item>
    <p>Click the icon at the very right of the menu bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui></p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <p>Open <gui>Network</gui> and select the <gui>Wireless</gui> tab</p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <p>Switch the wireless off and then on again</p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <p>If the wireless still does not work, switch on <gui>Airplane Mode</gui> and then switch it off again</p>
  </item>
</steps>

<p>If this doesn't work, restarting your computer should make the wireless work again.</p>
