Bug Description

Running "pmi action suspend" I get "write error: Device or resource busy" when the sleep.sh script hits the echo -n mem > /var/power/state line.

I am on a Thinkpad T43p (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ThinkpadT43p-2668 for a description of the hardware).

This laptop suspended fine in breezy.

With mjg59's help I was able to figure out that the module hci_usb is preventing me from doing the suspend.

The problem is that I can not unload this module without turning off the bluetooth module in my laptop with a key combo.
