I've been playing around with suspend on my desktop as a method of avoiding long reboots (my BIOS is really slow) and power savings. The machine suspends properly, however, when resuming the ethernet port stops working completely. Removing the e1000e module and reinserting it doesn't help. The only solution so far seems to be rebooting the machine.
Anybody know a solution to this problem?
The board is an Intex d5400xs with dual Socket 771 Xeons.

What method do you use? I think with hibernate-script you can set it up to either restart your network daemon or to reload your ethernet (forcedeth) module. I just recently set up suspend to disk and in /etc/hibernate/common.conf I have a line that has "RestartServices network" and this works fine.

I'm just using the pm-suspend utility to suspend the machine to RAM. I tried unloading the ethernet module prior to suspend and then loading it after suspend but that didn't work. Also, I've noticed that my mouse cursor is really sluggish following the resume.

Try something like this (as root):
/etc/rc.d/network restartedit: ... what tonyisnt said.

This will not work because the ethernet controller is no longer working (i.e. eth0 is not found). I'm starting to suspect a buggy BIOS.

Did you try to reload the "forcedeth" module? I suspect you have, but it's not 100% clear. A simple "modprobe forcedeth"?
But if that doesn't help then I don't know what else to suggest. Good luck.

This is one of the Intel "skulltrail" boards and so uses the Intel e1000e driver, not the forcedeth driver. Regardless, it doesn't help. I've tried just about everything that comes to mind without any luck. I've discovered that the slow cursor problem is really slow input from all USB HID devices. The problem comes from the fact that this board is not very common in the Linux world. Most people would just go for a normal server/workstation board instead of this board.

I too am having this problem, although unloading then reloading my card's module wakes it up and it begins working again.
