It's a "feature" of apmd. In particular, look at /etc/sysconfig/apmd and modify the line labeled: NET_RESTART In short, when your machine goes into suspend mode, the machine (when NET_RESTART=yes, the default), will shutdown network interfaces, and then presumably restart them when the machine "wakes up". I've had nothing but troubles with it personally, so I always set NET_RESTART=no -- Rex A.
