I have this strange NIC problem: My computer has two network interfaces, one is integrated and the other is in a PCI slot. When i normally start my computer both work just fine. But when i suspend it to RAM (which i do very often) and wake it up, my onboard nVidia NIC which is called eth1 stops working. I am thus unable to connect to my local network but eth0 works ok.
The output of ifconfig looks just fine:
Code:

~ # ifconfig -a

But ethtool tells me that there is no link, although the network cable is connected and the lights on the NIC socket are lit up:
Code:

~ # ethtool eth1
Settings for eth1:
   Supported ports: [ MII ]
   Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                           100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                           1000baseT/Full
   Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
   Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                           100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                           1000baseT/Full
   Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
   Speed: Unknown! (65535)
   Duplex: Unknown! (255)
   Port: MII
   PHYAD: 1
   Transceiver: external
   Auto-negotiation: on
   Supports Wake-on: g
   Wake-on: d
   Link detected: no

Speed and duplex are also not shown (at normal startup they are).
These are dmesg messages concerning eth1:
Code:

~ # dmesg | grep eth1
[ 4227.289510] eth1: no link during initialization.
[ 4227.290666] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready

Suspending and hibernating often lead to network troubles -- from what I've seen at least. You must unload the module before suspending and reload it afterwards.
