It's a "feature" of apmd.  In particular, look at
/etc/sysconfig/apmd
and modify the line labeled:  NET_RESTART

In short, when your machine goes into suspend mode, the machine
(when NET_RESTART=yes, the default), will shutdown network interfaces, and 
then presumably restart them when the machine "wakes up".  I've had 
nothing but troubles with it  personally, so I always set NET_RESTART=no
