This is not really related to 6279. The IBM laptop people thinks that
you shouldn't suspend your computer if there is power applied to any
of the pcmcia sockets. The reason for this is that the operating
system might not be able to restore the state of the pcmcia device. I
guess this means that w98 doesn't.

In my apm/suspend I ifconfig down all interfaces, and then up then in
after resume.
