Thats just a false assumption - suspend/resume is for 100% of the
Notebook users a mobility issue - so all assumptions about the outer
world dont hold up on a suspend/resume cycle. You might be away 10
minutes and come back on the same network (unlikely) or stay away for
years or move thousands of kilometers. Thats why usb disconnects all
devices (user might decide to unplug) and all pcmcia devices should get
"ejected", network should be shut down and network filesystems should be
unmounted. The world will most likely look different when you wakeup so
dont take wrong assumptions.
