I tried the suggestions made by bduchaj above on my HP Compaq nc8230 (which this issue was originally reported on), but unfortunately I had no success.

When setting ACPI_SLEEP_MODE to standby, the machine was not able to suspend, but "woke up" immediately when attempting to do so. If I listed ipw2200 to be removed (the MODULES parameter), I could see that it was removed, since the (wired) network stopped working after this :-). Changing only one of the parameters leaving the other unchanged didn't work either.

I tried to elaborate with a few other of the parameters listed in the file as well, but with no "visible" effect.

bduchaj, do you have any further tips that may be worth trying?

Some minor clarifications to the previous post, if someone likes to elaborate further:
- The file to edit is "/etc/default/acpi-support" (mis-spelled above).
- The parameters in this file to elaborate with (as suggested by bduchaj above) are, as I understand: ACPI_SLEEP_MODE (set to "standby" instead of "mem") and MODULES.
- To find out if you are using any of the modules that are suggested to be black-listed, run "lsmod | grep ipw" and see if ipw2100 or ipw2200 comes up.
