so please give it a good testing, and let's see if there are any 
regressions.

it breaks suspend when the airo module is loaded:

kernel: Stopping tasks: =================================================================================
kernel:  stopping tasks timed out after 20 seconds (1 tasks remaining):
kernel:   eth1
kernel: Restarting tasks...<6> Strange, eth1 not stopped

if i remove the airo module suspend works normally (this is on a
thinkpad t40).

Thanks for your report.

Let's try to figure out what broke it.

As a first step, please replace drivers/net/wireless/airo.c with the 
version in 2.6.18 and check whether this fixes the issue (you can ignore 
the deprecated warning during compilation).

i replaced airo.c with the 2.6.18 version. the good news is i can
suspend to memory with it. the bad news is dhcp never got an ip
address (so i don't think the 2.6.18 driver really works with the
2.6.19-rc1 infrastructure). any patches i could try? thanks.
