Then Evo should not spam the console with "No route to host" or "Failure
in name resolution" dialogs if there's a transient network problem.  It
should just silently fail, and resume when the network comes back.

This isn't just a problem for suspend/resume, if you just have a flaky
network connection or unplug the machine for a bit you have to dismiss a
bunch of dialogs.
