Hello,
    I have a Realtek-based 32-bit PC card (uses 8139too). It works 
flawlessly under normal circumstances - very fast, can unplug, etc. 
while the machine is hot. However, if I unplug when the machine is 
suspended (apm -s), upon resume, the machine locks up - capslock works, 
but that's about it. Since this card has a built-in connector (i.e., 
it's bigger than a normal PCMCIA card), I can see wanting to put it to 
sleep, then remembering that I ought to take out the card (which I _can_ 
do, so long as I plug it back in before it wakes up). A bit annoying. 
Oh, I have tried, before suspending, modprobe -r'ing the proper module 
(8139too), same thing (grrr...).

For what it's worth, this card is _not_ recognized at all by cardmgr - I 
plug it in, and then it shows up via "lspci". "cat /var/lib/pcmcia/stab" 
returns both slots as empty. I'll send my kernel config if you want. I 
assume I don't need any PCI hotplug support in the kernel, as everything 
works fine unless I suspend, remove, wake up (eve though the PCMCIA card 
shows up as a PCI device). My PCMCIA slots work fine, as I have another 
"true" PCMCIA card.

I'm sure this must be a little confusing to the poor kernel - going to 
sleep and awaking only to find your NIC is missing. Traumatic.
