That sounds ghastly. I run Kismet on my laptop, and suspend/resume works 
fine, on SUSE 10.0, where networking generally is more difficult than it 
should be.

Restarting networking with kismet running seems likely to cause 
something to fail.

Possibully. I'd guess network timeouts are causing grief.

Mind you, the usual reason I suspend/resume is to transport the laptop 
between home and work, and when that happens the network does need to be 
reset.

I run FC3 on another laptop, and it suspends, resumes and then 
shutsdown. It sounds like a variation of my problem.
