No, its not a kernel or module option. Its in the pcmcia-cs package.
>From /var/lib/dpkg/info/pcmcia-cs.postinst:
. Newer version of Debian's apmd package allow the system administrator to
. automatically run arbitrary scripts when the system is brought to and from
. a suspended state. While the PCMCIA modules provide APM support (that is,
. they are supposed to detect through the kernel when the system is being
. suspend and when it is brought back from a suspended state), this does
. not work on some computers. Furthermore, certain cards, most notably
. SCSI cards, cannot recover from a suspend/resume cycle. Therefore, it
. is recommended to automatically eject these cards when the system is
. suspended.
.
. You now have three options:
. 1) You can use a script to automatically suspend/resume your PCMCIA
. cards during a APM suspend event.
. 2) You can use a script to automatically eject/insert your PCMCIA cards
. during a APM suspend event. (Note that this will break any connections
. established by network cards.)
. 3) You can do nothing; that is, let the PCMCIA modules' APM support
. handle card suspend/resume events.
.
. Unless you know that your system cannot adequately handle APM
. suspend/resume events on its own, you should choose option 3. If you
. decide later that you need to automatically suspend/resume your PCMCIA
. cards with a script you should modify the /etc/pcmcia/apm.opts file so
. that it contains the following line:

I´m using potato on all my maschines without problems and the 2.2.x
kernels are a must I would say. My soundcard, my tft display
(framebuffer driven), my complete alpha, the ipchains and so on come
to my mind. :)
May the Source be with you.
