I think I found the problem. In 2.6.18, I had a slightly different
config. With 2.6.20-rc4, I had sucessful suspend/resume cycles without
the USB DVB-T box attached. I tweaked the USB options a bit and
activated some options (CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND,
CONFIG_USB_MULTITHREAD_PROBE, CONFIG_USB_EHCI_SPLIT_ISO,
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT, CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED) and now I can
suspend/resume without hangs. At least I haven't seen one until now.

Thanks for you patience and regards,
