OK, I didn't realize that powering down the card was a 
Thinkpad-specific requirement.

One thing that had me confused was that some people indicated that it 
should be possible to do the 'cardctl eject' or 'cardctl suspend' from 
within the script invoked by apmd-- however, I guess the Thinkpad BIOS 
doesn't let the APM suspend event propagate that far when there is a 
card powered up.

<aol>Same here</aol> (although I assumed that the problems I was seeing 
when reinserting the card were due to an older hotplug package that was 
misinterpreting the insertion events... I'll have to eliminate that 
possibility.)

Russell, I am curious as to whether any of the early 2.5.x (x <= 31) 
kernels still work for you, or whether suspend on your machine was 
broken in a different version.
