Re: [PROBLEM] 2.6.3-rc1: still no suspend/resume on Centrino notebook

[Ari Pollak]

The Thinkpad T40 and T41 at least; they suspend & resume properly, but 
there are still interrupt-losing problems when resuming, which is a 
totally separate issue. I believe they both use the 8255PM chipset:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82855PM Processor to I/O Controller 
(rev 03)

There have been a few discussions on the ACPI list about this, as well 
as bugs 1661 and 1409.
