Please don't try to fiddle with that at the driver level. The irq and PCI core code are the ones in charge and if you'd restore at the wrong point then hell breaks lose. Can you please do the following: 1) Store the PCI config space at suspend time 2) Compare the PCI config space at resume time and print the difference Do that on a working and a non-working version of Realtek NICs.
