That fits with my analysis as well.  It seems that cardbus handles 
things fine but individual drivers may be lacking in suspend/resume support.

That's a good testing approach, btw.  If you find the dc(4) driver seems 
to be the culprit, the next step is to go through any datasheets and 
other OS drivers to see if you can find what we're doing differently.
