Bob's problem is that he uses a Dock in both locations.  When he wakes
up, he's plugged in..

How about downing the interface at hibernate, but not bringing it up
until you completely wake up.  You may need to disable ifplugd to get
your desired result.

NetworkManager may be a better solution for you than ifplugd.

It's available in FC4 and Ubuntu that I know of.
