I have had problems with putting my M2NPV-VM based system into S3
(suspend-to-ram) because when it wakes up it has a scrambled MAC
address.  This results in DHCP granting it a dynamic IP address which
messes up the MythTV connections.  I have yet to find a fix for my
systems.

This appears to be either a problem with ASUS motherboards or the
forcedeth driver since I get the same kind of problems with an A8N-SLI
motherboard, too.

What do you use to put your system in S3 state and what do you do
(if anything) to keep the MAC address sane?

Craig.
