I hit a problem last night where after the system came out of 
auto-suspend, my wired networks wouldn't work. Everything looked fine, 
"ifconfig", "route -n", "rcnetwork restart", but no activity on the 
switch. I powered the box off completely, did physical checks after I 
had messed with changing eth0 and eth1 configs in case eth0 or the cable 
had gone bad. Powered up and everything was normal again.
The penny dropped when the same thing happened when I woke the system 
this morning, did a complete power down, powered up and everything 
works. I've disabled auto-suspend now.
Fixed IP addresses on eth0 and on eth1 when cable and config swapped 
with the eth0 config. The wireless card got an IP address via dhcp when 
"rcnetwork restart" done.
I have other boxes on Beta 3plus that haven't been rebooted yet to see 
if I get the same behaviour with them.
A bug report later.
Regards
Sid.
