Ron,
What exactly do you mean is corrupted when waking? If it has to do
with the MAC address getting reversed, I figured out a way to smash
that glitch (at least for Fedora/CentOS based systems). I just add an
entry to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth#, where # is the
appropriate digit for the ethernet interface (usually 0, but YMMV).
The entry is a duplicate of the one that *should* already be there for
HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx with the parameter name changed to
MACADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx and placed on a separate line. This causes
the MAC address to be forced on every initialization (which includes
after hibernations!).
HTH.
Craig.
