[tru at snoopy ~]$ lshal | grep suspen
  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_execpaths = {'hal-system-power-suspend', 'hal-system-power-suspend-clear-error', 'hal-system-power-hibernate', 'hal-system-power-hibernate-clear-error', 'hal-system-power-shutdown', 'hal-system-power-reboot', 'hal-system-power-set-power-save'} (string list)

I am using my own sky2 ethernet driver(since 5.3)/ath_pci wifi driver:
[tru at snoopy ~]$ modinfo sky2
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.9.1.el5/weak-updates/sky2/sky2.ko
version:        1.18
license:        GPL
author:         Stephen Hemminger <shemminger at linux-foundation.org>
description:    Marvell Yukon 2 Gigabit Ethernet driver
srcversion:     4D063BC8FAD26BE4B493E77
...
[tru at snoopy ~]$ modinfo ath_pci
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.9.1.el5/net/ath_pci.ko
license:        Dual BSD/GPL
version:        svn r3879
description:    Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards.
author:         Errno Consulting, Sam Leffler
srcversion:     53828DCE2B2CEC52C9E9103
...
Which requires a small hack in the pm config file:
[tru at snoopy ~]$ cat /etc/pm/config.d/ath_pci 
SUSPEND_MODULES=ath_pci
RESUME_MODULES=ath_pci

Maybe you need to add the sky2  driver to the list.

I haven't tried the newer sky2 driver from the 5.4 kernel serie, ymmv.

Cheers,

Tru
