I think I can confirm this; My board uses an e1000 and I use an empty
"SUSPEND_MODULES" list.

It might be needed on Debian and Ubuntu systems. I play with these, and
it looks like I systematically have to tweak those entries. 
I am not using particularly select hardware, but even on Intel-based
systems that seems needed. The example comes from an ASUS N4VM-DH (Core
Solo mini-ATX). I don't remember how my (P IV) Dell Dimension wakes
under linux, maybe it didn't require tweaking the entries. This machine
is so well-behaved.
