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.
