Comment(by mikus):

 [[BR]] OFF TOPIC - Metadiscussion follows:

 I had not cc'd this ticket because I was not experiencing the exact
 original description.  [I went through similar hair-splitting back in
 spring 2008, when I wrote a ticket about not being able to connect to a
 Jabber server.  The specific problem was found and fixed.  Me *still* not
 being able to connect from home to a Jabber server was shelved.  (These
 days, if I want to connect to a Jabber server, I go to someplace with an
 AP.)]

 So "fixing" (or "upstreaming") ticket #7922 does not directly affect me,
 because I never noticed the specific symptom described by #7922.  Up to
 this moment, I've been using Ticket #5990 as the "carrier" of the problem
 I do experience -- if I have ethernet working, and do a suspend/resume, I
 no longer have ethernet working.  [Perhaps I've not seen #7922 because I
 normally run with suspend inhibited for this reason, and thus am not
 looking for whatever happens minutes after a resume.]

 --------

 To get back to the meta-discussion, it may be that whatever the "current
 solution" for #7922 is, will also be considered to close #5990.  If so,
 I'll just open a new ticket for no longer having an ethernet connection
 after suspend/resume -- as far as I can tell, even with the latest Joyride
 (0.83), although the ethernet adapter gets powered-on by resume, and
 although the 'eth0' interface is re-established, that interface is given
 an IPv6 address.  Before the suspend, my connection was running with an
 IPv4 address.  If resume now assigns an IPv6 address, that result leaves
 my XO without a working ethernet connection.
