r8152 resume from suspend

January 19, 2021 — Jesse Harris

I recently upgraded my Precision 5510 to a Precision 5550. I was able to use btrfs send to transfer my existing Gentoo install to the new machine and used genkernel for my kernel config until I can get around to fine tuning. I have noticed an odd quirk where resuming from suspend, the ethernet port on my TB16 thunderbolt dock does not work.

~~~

Manualy I can work around this using the following commands:

    modprobe -r r8152
    modprobe r8152

But manual is tedious after a while. I want my machine to suspend and resume without issue. A google around for this issue, shows a few kernel commits which may resolve this in future and my fix might not be needed.

In the meantime, I will add a systemd hook to automatically reload the module on suspend and resume. I'm writing this blog article so that I can remember what I did.

Basically I am copying this stackoverflow article but changing the name of the module.

this stackoverflow

```

#!/bin/bash

PROGNAME=$(basename "$0")

state=$1

action=$2

function log {

logger -i -t "$PROGNAME" "$*"

}

log "Running $action $state"

if [[ $state == post ]]; then

modprobe -r r8169 \

&& log "Removed r8152" \

&& modprobe -i r8152 \

&& log "Inserted r8152"

fi

```

Checking that it works

Open the journal and follow it using journalctl -f. Suspend and resume the system.
