no this is the current Linus tree(have not tried any other tree).
as for the unresolved regression, this just was filed a few days ago..

the bisect had to be between 2.6.34 and 2.6.32 due to pcmcia breaking 
after 2.6.34(there is a bug report for that, but got resolved)

the system is opensuse 11.2, I just simply start the machine boot up,
after nm connects I open a terminal then suspend in the terminal, upon 
wakeup this message appears.

yeah the first pcmcia bug I hit with this machine was back in may/june 
ended up doing a bisect for that(which was painful due to a slow 
machine)which ended up getting fixed.(never thought to check s2ram after 
that)

as for bluetooth the only issue I have with that is for my other 
machines which is hitting this: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/1/61
(but have not had a chance to follow through due to doing the update 
broken web addresses in the kernel)

alright if this is with the latest wireless tree, then I can throw that 
in to verify that it is indeed fixed..
