Comment:

 There's a patch in Loudmouth git which turns on TCP keepalives when
 available. It sends out a TCP keepalive packet when the connection is idle
 for 30 seconds. Keepalives are sent out every 30 seconds. After 3
 keepalives time out, the connection is closed. This would mean that the
 connection would be closed after 2 minutes if the link goes down. I'm not
 sure how the timeouts interact with suspend/resume.

 Watching network manager might still be a better solution, but adopting a
 newer Loudmouth version might ameliorate this bug.

 (Loudmouth is a library that Gabble uses.)
