Absolutely - but I know that, unless it's an odd side-effect of the
hibernation process itself, there really isn't much that happens in the
network unload/reload scripts, so it should be possible to script the part
that actually resets my network.  otoh, if your dbus method does the same
thing, I don't need to script anything :-)
