Your kernel-default-6.8.9 suspends (and resumes) just fine: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/tiwai:/kernel:/6.8/standard/x86_64/kernel-default-6.8.9-1.1.gdfc068d.x86_64.rpm Of course I double-checked that the e1000e module was actually loaded. It also did not complain in dmesg or in 'sudo journalctl -b'.
