*hmpf* ... one shouldn't stop testing once things seem to work. * suspend-to-ram has an about 50% chance of not resuming at all; just black screen and fan activity. hard to tell what else is up, as those devices don't even feature keyboard or hd leds any more. * even if it comes back up, wifi doesn't resume its operation; deeper investigation will follow when i get my hands on the device again. it is, however, not the cause of the failing resume -- at least, it also fails to resume if i blacklist all matching wifi kernel modules.
