Q: Mountain Lion no Wifi after wake from sleep

Hey guys,

 

I have the following problem:

 

after I wake my 17" MacBook Pro 8,3 (early 2011) from sleep by opening the lid, it starts searching for a WiFi network to join. It will just keep searching and searching, without ever finding anything. When I try to click on the WiFi icon in the menubar I get the beachball, also the System Preferences are affected by this crash - I can't go to "Network", it also beachballs. The only way out is a restart.

 

To prevent this from happening I can disable WiFi before putting my mac to sleep, but that's quite inconvenient. I have disabled all Auto Proxies, tried to delete the known networks from both the Network pane and the Keychain.

 

 

MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2011), OS X Mountain Lion

Ok, I finally fixed this myself.

 

Go to "System Preferences > Network" and select the WiFi-Service from the list on the left. Select "Options" from the bottom right of the right pane. In this window, delete all the known Networks and hit OK. Then go ahead and delete the WiFi device. Create a new WiFi device and you're done.

    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:

    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,

    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,

    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!
