I find that compiling stuff as modules can help things work much
better after suspend.  clearly this is a workaround rather than
a fix, but I found that sound would die on my TP570 after
resume, with sound compiled into the kernel.  
I took it out of the kernel, and added bits to unload/load the
sound module in suspend/resume rc scripts, and now sound comes
back after resume, works fine, every time.  
I'm tempted to try similar things with my wireless card, which
occasionally won't come back after resume, and seems to require
a reboot.
