Hi,

Exact same issue and behavior here using an up to date Fedora Core 8.

Scanning through /var/log/messages I get the following entries

Jan  3 11:59:28 machinebg NetworkManager: <info>  Waking up from sleep.

....

What surprises me is the  "Deactivating device eth0." line. and the kernel messages about the link becoming down, up down, up....
If that helps
