This one has the built-in eepro100. That goes AWOL on suspend too, but
that's solved by saving the PCI configuration space on suspend and
restoring it on resume because their BIOS is too crap to do it for us.

Confused me quite a lot, that one. Adding the suspend-to-disk partition to
the Grub menu and then suspending it halfway through booting - NB _before_
it's mounted the rootfs - lets me susequently boot directly into a state
where APM suspend will work :)
