Frustration with iBook--no connection after waking

This really is getting frustrating having to type a command (sudo
ifconfig en0 down ; sudo ifconfig en0 up) into Terminal to reestablish
my cable connection every time I wake my iBook from sleep.

Before the 10.3.3 update my iBook was immediately downloading mail,
etc., still online, when I opened the cover.

Anyone have a clue what's going on? Did something get corrupted? How
can I fix this?

Thanks for any ideas,

David

Might be a little easier to make an Applescript and run it from the Script
Menu:

Do shell script "sudo ifconfig en0 down ; sudo ifconfig en0 up"

I don't know, when I updated the same thing happened to both Airport
machines. Suddenly neither would connect to a network on waking. For
Airport, there's a prefpanel item to "Join a certain network" which had to
be selected.
However, there's no such item for ethernet.
