Well The problem I have with these modules is A) madwifi "waiting until support is in the kernel for this one, for now I just have to deal with risking loosing any data". B) graphics driver I can unload the driver but then loose suspend to mem "argh!!" aside from that, I just performed the test again of simultaneously suspending to memory and didn't receive this message, so now I'm at a lost for words as to what is happening. The positive side is there isn't any important data on my system i.g. important doc's etc..., but there is data with the applications.(alsa,acpid,etc...) regards; -- Justin P. Mattock
