This seems to have been resolved in the recent 2.4.18 (according to one 
report, but I am still using a workaround with 2.4.18rc1 with no problems, 
and haven't tried to remove it to see what happens), and for other
kernel versions, the workaround is to read the pci settings of the network 
card before a suspend (when it is known to be working) and after (not 
working).  Check which settings change, and then use /sbin/setpci to set the 
values back to what they were before the suspend-resume.  It is not necessary 
to change values that did not change.  Examples can be found in the following 
sites:
