Description:
VMWare Player/Server can't suspend/resume properly if open-vm-tools are installed. Since the default network suspend/resume script in the open-vm-tools package is not compatible to ArchLinux. It is expecting ifup/ifdown, which are not defined here. ifconfig up/down should be used instead.

Optional improvement:
dbus-daemon have to be running if using open-vm-tools, or dbus-send would fail. VMWare Player/Server can't suspend/resume properly if open-vm-tools are installed. I'm offering to check for running dbus-daemon, before using dbus-send.

Attachment:
patch for both problems
