Some other example close to my heart. :-)
3com 3C589 PCMCIA ethernet card when active on suspend locks laptopts tight as a drum. This reliably happens, both under Linux and under doze on Toshibe 410 CDT, 500 CDT. After one experiment under '95 I had to remove a battery to gain control back as even a reset switch crashed.
The same effect occures also on a Sharp laptop I set for my friend with this small difference that an apm hack which runs 'eject' on a suspense signal works there. The same trick on Toshiba runs (I can find traces in log files) but too late and this laptop is already dead before 'eject' finished. A workaround consists of a menu entry on which you have to click before trying to close a lid if you have your ethernet card in. Other than that everything with suspend is peachy. :-)
