Anyway:
My MSI Wind U100 netbook's internet connection is through my friend's ethernet cable. At system startup, everything works fine, and Network Manager shows a connection through "Auto Ethernet." If I let the screensaver (blank screen with screenlock) come on, the network is still connected as normal when I unlock the screen again. If I log out and log back in again, network is still good. However, if I close the lid and put the computer into suspension, then when I start back up again, the network icon shows its busy animation for a couple of minutes, and I eventually get this notification:
Disconnected
The network connection has been
disconnected.
After that, nothing I can think of to do will bring the network back online. "Auto Ethernet" still appears in the Network Manager, but clicking it only repeats the trying-and-failing routine. Turning the modem off and on does nothing. Logging out and in again doesn't help. The only way I can get back online is to go to Quit/Restart and completely reboot the computer. I am running Update Pack 3 as per the instructions here:

The same issue occurs if I boot into the 2.6.39-2-486 kernel from GRUB.
At the moment, with the connection working, I get this from the terminal:

Thanks for any help anyone can give me to fix this.
