Otherwise the laptop never comes back on-line on resume. Anyway, I'm a big fan of scripting. If I add: device card 1 # pccard bus Do you think I'll then be able to power down the card slot with: pccardc power 1 0 And then do a successful suspend even with the AC plugged? Also, do I have to add that device line to my kernel? Or is there a dynamic way to do it using the hints file? Thanks! -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
