I had a patch one year ago.  But it was really too buggy.  I even
don't know if it worked properly due to lack of hardware...
Anyway, even if that patch worked, all the power management
of the devices in linux 2.4 in general have to be rewrotten.

I don't think the cost of the time of this rework for 2.4 will be really
usefull, since linux 2.5 have already a framework for this purpose.
And this work will be too oriented to developpement, not improving
things or write a new driver, etc.
