Well, it appears that my sleep issues with the Mac Pro are still a problem. Doing what I did below to the VMware Fusion network connections really helped, and helped my overall Mac performance, but I still occasionally got issues with the Mac Pro hanging when I would bring it out of sleep. I did some more looking through the console logs and noticed that Parallels (another VM program) also had some network entries about vnic0 and vnic1. I did some research on these and it seemed like I really didn't need them so I deleted them from one of the Parallels plist files and now they also no longer show up. I've also gotten in the habit of just restarting the Pro at the end of the day which also seems to clear things.
Things seem to have improved substantially since this last effort. Here's one thing that gives me hope. I have my login screen on the Mac set to show user icons. So I have one for the local admin and one for my network user's "mobile" account. Normally when I bring the Pro out of sleep, these are the only two that are showing. After a few seconds, an "Other" icon will appear and that is the one I use to log into my network. I assume that this appears after the Mac makes a connection my my AD domain controller. My clue that the Mac was going to hang was when I brought it out of sleep if the Other icon was already there. Recently when I bring it out of sleep I see the Other icon already there so I was concerned that the problem was back, but both times that this has happened I have been able to log in without issue. Hopefully this means that this issue is solved. And it has to be something specific about the Pro, I have an iMac at home that sleeps all the time and I never have this problem.
