[adding netdev to the cc]

unfortunately I didn't.

e1000 has a special e1000_pci_save_state/e1000_pci_restore_state set of 
routines that save and restore the configuration space. the fact that it works 
for suspend to memory to me suggests that there is nothing wrong with that.

I'm surprised that the t42 comes with a PCI/PCI-X e1000, which changes the 
need for this special routine, and the routine does the exact same thing as 
pci_save_state in your case. These special routines are made to handle PCI-E 
cards properly.

Also there are no config_pm changes related to this in 2.6.18-rc2. Most of 
this code has been in the kernel for a few major releases afaik. This code 
worked fine before, so I don't rule out any suspend-related issues. You should 
certainly compare with 2.6.18-rc1 and make sure it was a regression, perhaps 
even bisect the e1000-related changes if you have the time, which is about 22 
patches or so.

I'll see if I can find out some more once I get back to work.
