I don't know if it's related or not, but I have had similar problems on my 
T40p. Firstly, I get that EEPROM problem whenever the cardbus bridge is 
enabled. Disabling cardbus made that particular problem go away completely.

However I still had problems with suspend/resume and I submitted a PR/patch 
that fixes it on my machine: 

   http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/59806

Perhaps the two problems are related? My problem with suspend/resume can also 
be said to happen "often" but not always. When em0 dies I tend to get 
watchdog warnings, and often even a kernel panic as mentioned in the PR.

(I'm thinking perhaps the two problems are caused by the same thing but result 
in different error messages in our two situations.)
