I can suspend and resume at will now. (Need I mention this worked the first time? Whoa. I think Nate's got something here.) I'm running RELENG_2_2, with the relevant bits current as of today (28 October), on a TP560C. Prior to this I've been able to almost crash my machine at will, and so far in the last hour I haven't been able to crash it at all. My tests so far have been with a 3com 3C589D and a Megahertz XJ4336, and I have an Adaptec SlimSCSI waiting in the wings. I've been fighting this suspend-resume problem for some time and for the first time it's working really well. So: get out there and TEST this stuff! If anyone wants to run this on -stable as well, Nate has diffs he may be persuaded to make available. Kudos to Nate! Everyone else...get on the suspend/resume bandwagon! Brian
