Sounds like it'd be easier to take out the card and put it back in again
so networking is brought back up again automatically.

My 380XD (what I'm using at the moment) is running RH 7.2 with updates. 
Had the same results with 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2, though.  I *did* have to
recompile the kernel on all of these to prevent lockups on suspend,
though.  Is this still required with 7.3?

I usually use hibernate (Fn+F12), as my battery's dead.  Works great, but
I've gotta take out the card first.

Can't you make the Thinkpad 600 go from suspend into hibernate after a
certain time with PS2?  Or how about setting the power switch so it makes
the machine hibernate rather than turning it off?
