This is correct for me with an X20.  However, there seems to be a
workaround to the suspend/resume problem.  do a "network stop" before
suspending, and a "network start" after resuming.  You can automate this
by creating an "apmconinue" file in /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts; this is
what I just did.  I've successfully suspended/resumed 12 times in a row,
and hibernated/whatevered 5 times.

I'll paste in my apmcontinue below.

   Hope this helps,

Here's my apmcontinue:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# This script is called by /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/apmscript
# By dash, 2000-12-14
#

case "$PROG" in
    suspend)
	/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
	sync

	;;

    resume)
	/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start

	rm -f "$LOCKFILE"
	;;
    change)
	case $2 in
	power)
		# Change from battery power to AC power or vice versa.
		# You might want to stop/restart any unnecessary CPU intensive
		# tasks (seti@home, distributed.net clients, etc) here.
		;;
	battery)
		# Battery low. If you want to be on the safe side, maybe put
		# the harddisk into extreme powersaving, or "apm -s" here.
		;;
	esac
        ;;
    start)
	# This occurs at system startup - you usually don't need to do
	# anything here.
	;;
    stop)
	# This occurs at system shutdown - you usually don't need to do
	# anything here.
	;;
    *)
	printf "%s doesn't know how to handle %s!\n" \
		"/etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/apmcontinue" "$PROG"
	;;
esac
