I'm using Toshiba DynaDock DVI and its ethernet network interface port is not detected and therefore not working when booting up or returning from sleep.
WORKAROUND:
I found out that manually unloading and loading the apple usb ethernet driver makes the Toshiba DynaDock DVI network interface work.
the following should be executed at root (sudo):
kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBEthernet;
kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEthernet.kext;
after this stunt my Toshiba DynaDock DVI network interface works as a charm - until reboot or sleeping.

Hello Uffe,
it seems that Apple changed the way Ethernet USB devices are attached. As it's a normal Ethernet USB device it should be recognized by the OS as it has been the case in 10.5.
Good to know that the driver somewhat works ( it's probably not autoloading as sleep does not work).
We'll see if Apple fixes this in 10.6.2.
