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. :-)
