Just another "me too"...

My IBM T40 with PCMCIA WLAN from ASUS hangs every (100% repeat) time I try to suspend/hibernate. Same problem in 8.10 and also in Debian5. It worked perfectly in 8.4 though.

When I go to suspend, the sleep-LED begins to flash and there is some disk activity. Then, just as I 'feel' that the LED is to stop flashing and stay lit, indicating successful sleep, I get a kernel panic, indicated by flashing CAPS LOCK. There is nothing in the logs, nothing on the console and absolutely no trace to what goes wrong (checked with serial attached console). If I unplug the PCMCIA WLAN everything works perfectly.

Please note that the problem was in 8.10 and that Debian Lenny has the same behaviour as well. 8.4 works like a charm.
