IMHO, the best way to deal with this is /etc/sysconfig/apmd.

There's a whole host of settings for getting things to act better
if they're broken on suspend/resume.

Especially useful in this case should be:

# If NET_RESTART is set to yes, the network will be shut down at suspend and
# restarted at resume.
# This is especially useful if you're using DHCP, but usually won't hurt.
NET_RESTART="yes"

HTH, HAND
