I have a MacBook Pro with it dual-booting with Ubuntu 14.04 and Mac OS X, and a few days ago I upgraded Ubuntu from 13.10 to 14.04. When I suspend and then resume the system, wireless tries to connect but fails, and I tried some solutions like restart the network or remove and reload the WiFi kernel module (b43), but nothing worked. Only a restart of the system solve the issue.



The output of dmesg indicates an authentication problem:



...
[ 8050.906223] wlan0: deauthenticating from <mac_address> by local choice (reason=3)
[ 8050.914824] wlan0: authenticate with <mac_address>

I found a way to restore connectivity, even though I did not understand what the cause of the problem.

However, killing the wpa_supplicant process, it will restart automatically, and the connection is restored:



sudo killall wpa_supplicant 


output of dmesg:



[3481.457982] b43 bcma0: 0 wlan0: disabling HT as WMM / QoS is not supported by the AP 
[3481.457992] b43 bcma0: 0 wlan0: disabling VHT as WMM / QoS is not supported by the AP

I hope it could be useful also to other.
