another update after some further tests: * the suspend problem persists at least from kernel version 3.2 through to 3.8. an ubuntuforums report[1] claims that it suspend worked in ubuntu 12.04 but not in 12.10, the former using kernel 3.2, the latter 3.5.
* the wifi power problem with brcmsmac persists in 3.8; the nonfree driver doesn't work with 3.8 so far at all (see bug #702788). [1] http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/ruhezustand-nach-dem-aufwecken-nur-schwarzer-b/#post-4958217
