Mountain Lion no Wifi after wake from sleep

I'm having the same issue, however my WiFi is off.

MBP13 2.7 i7 w/ Thunderbolt display, using the hard network in the display.

Didn't see any others with this described setup in the thread.

Any one else experiencing the lock up using a wired network connection?

Howdy,

In a previous note in this thread I stated that I have the problem with a wired Ethernet connection on my iMac (mid-2011) running OS X 10.8.1.

Good Luck,

Hello Pryan,

Sadly, it didn't worked for me.

Have this wifi wakeup problem since upgrading to ML. First tought of a virus. None since to be announced.

Macbook Pro 6,2 end 2010/Intel Core i7/2.66 Ghz/8 Go./500 Go 7200 rpm/Mountain Lion OS 10.8.1

Intel HD graphics/NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M/Airport Extreme under WPA2 Personnel/ Canal 1/

AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext/

what else...

Uses Transmit as active.

Flenty of genuine app. All works fine.

Have tried :

Renewed DHCP. Failed.

Delete network plist in preference : Failed.

Repairing disk permission : Failed

For the moment, as a workaround : I close Airport (inactive) before it goes to sleep.

Best regards.Louis

As someone suggested on this thread, I removed the Wifi status icon from my menu bar and I must say, at least so far, it's a definite improvement, though I will have to see watch more carefully. I also previously moved Computer Sleep in Systems Pref to 3 hrs. Will check back in again on the success of the the removal of the Wifi icon in the menu bar.

what I've found out is that it doesn't really loose the wifi after waking up, it only looks that way bacause of the network selection dialogue pops up and the icon looks like you're not connected. yes, your mac thinks you're not online and won't open any web pages or get new mail. but. it's still available when I try to reach it via Remote app on my iphone. rather strange behavior, , fix that please asap!

Howdy,

I'm seeing the problem using my iMac with a hard wired connection via the Ethernet. The IP address that ends up being assigned is NOT one in the range that my Time Capsule assigns and I have no connection to the internet.

Good Luck,

I've been subscribed to this thread for a cpl weeks now and am pretty fed up.

I totally understand that you all just wanna chime in with re-iterations of the same problem, but this is utterly rediculous.

Is there a proper way to report bugs to the dev team?

Anyone?

If you have Transmit, remove the icon from your menu bar. While not ideal, because I use the heck outta Transmit, that seemed to do the trick for me.

Hopefully this will be taken care of in the next update...

I'm sure this issue has been reported, but there's nothing wrong with reporting it yourself. The more reports, the better I'd think.

Here's the link you're looking for:

Apple Bug Reporter

Howdy,

That link didn't work for me. I tried to log in using my Apple ID and just got a message that an error occured and a button that did nothing.

Is there a link for bug reports from the Apple Menu or About this Mac anywhere?

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz

Thanks Wild Bill.

Bug submitted 🙂

Herbert,

This would be the link you need. Not sure why it wouldn't work? Whatever you use for participating in these discussions should work to get you logged in to report a bug? Maybe someone else can weigh in?

Howdy,

Tried it again after the success report and I got through the second time. Don't know what went wrong the first time around. Now I've bookmarked the link so I know where to go from now on.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz

Excellent!

SOLUTION for SSDs machines.

For those of you with 3RD party SSDs, this solution worked for me.

Update the firmware on your SSDs, after 10.8 something screwy happened to where the mac would not be able to communicate with the SSD, making it freeze and have to do a forced reboot. Manufacturers like OSZ and Sandisk, addressed the issue in seperate firmware updates. I just updated mine and after testing with sleeping for both 20mins and 8 hours, the freezing issue has stopped. Hopefully, this will help others as well.

Go to the manufacturers website for your SSD and update to its latest SSD firmware, reboot and it should all be better now. Goodluck!

I have been following this thread as well for several weeks. I have a very similar problem but it varries sometimes from the others.

Here is in a nut shell what happens with my iMac mid 2010 and osx10.8.1 :

I have a iMac mid 2010 27”. After upgrade from Lion to MLion I have the following problem:

When I wake up the iMac from sleep I see a spinning beachball in the menubar when pointing the cursor to it. It only shows on the original standard Apple icons ( like:TimeMachine;Bluetooth; WiFi;Sound volume;date and time;user name and finder.)

On the other icons put there by other software (Speedtools pro;Dropbox;Intego Virus barrier) there is no spinning ball.

This happens when I put the iMac to sleep manually or via powermanagement .

When done manually I see that ,after waking up, the time/date shows the moment I put it to sleep manually and it stays so for about 10 minutes than returns to correct time/date.

This does not happen when the iMac is put to sleep via powermanagement.

Some times the Wifi is greyed out, sometimes not.

After some time, no more than 10 minutes at the most the spinning ball is gone and everything works normal.

When using the iMac during the spinning ball most of the time it works ok. But sometimes a program like safari will cause freezing. Only a hard shutdown and restart via the powerbutton will help.

When logging in with an other user account or

starting in safemode I do not have the above problems.

I have been following several threads on this issue on the Apple support and tried out all the suggestions they made there, but none of them worked for me.

Because the problem varies so much it is not possible for me to pin point the cause of it.

The only common factor is that it happens when waking up the iMac after it has been put to sleep.

I tried to sent it via the bugreporter but every time I tried to log in I get an error report.

Any help is welcome,
