It turns out there was a *HUGE* race condition in the code after I killed the 'suspend' function. How it ever worked I'll never know, but the new code is both better and more robust, and what I had initially intended to do a couple of years ago. I'd be suprised if suspend/resume didn't work for *all* laptops now, although it may require some setup of the PCIC controller for some machines. If it doesn't work out of the box, try setting "machdep.pccard.pcic_resume_reset" to 1. root # sysctl -w machdep.pccard.pcic_resume_reset=1 You *MUST* rebuild pccardc/pccardd before you boot into the new kernel. If you don't normal card insertion/removal events won't get recognized by the card daemon (the above change is necessary), but once you've rebuilt and re-installed it everything should work great. *Please* test this code. I think it should work, and if it proves to be good I'd like to bring it into 2.2 after a shakeout period. In any case, it's much more robust than the old code in the face of cards getting switched, etc... Natehome | help
