As reported in more detail at http://bugs.debian.org/614622, i have an atl2 NIC (03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications L2 Fast Ethernet (rev a0)) which sometimes reports NO CARRIER after i suspend/resume.
This has been the case since 2.6.37 and it persists with 3.0 as well. I'm using debian's 686 kernels.
