Follow-up question would be whether link breaks accidentally on suspend, or whether
something fails on resume.When suspending, does the link break and link LEDs go off?
Depending on LED configuration you may also see whether link speed is reduced
on suspend.
struct net_device has a member wol_enabled, does it make a difference if set it?
