Interestingly, I installed Ubuntu 6.06 on my laptop to see if it'd
handle suspend better than FC5.  I found it didn't right out of the
box but a very quick google led me to a page on their wiki that
explained the steps needed.  I had it working in a few minutes.  They
also supported my ipw3945 card without needing to enable outside repos
or install the driver from source.  +2 for Ubuntu in the hardware
detection category on my laptop.

I've yet to manage to duplicate the success with suspend in Ubuntu on
FC5 and that's rather irritating.  I know now that it's not a simple
matter of the hardware not supporting it.  It's a matter of twiddling
the right switches.  And those switches aren't well marked in FC. :(

FWIW, I tried the same thing with SUSE 10.1 and it failed the suspend
test but it did enable the ipw3945 driver easier than FC.  Next up is
Gentoo. :)

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked
something.
