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.
