It surely does, the only problem is that I have to press reset button
(or power-cycle) when it supposed to resume :) For suspend/resume to
work properly, other drivers must support it. And I think the status of
suspend/resume support is almost the same as that of FreeBSD 4.x, and
I doubt such changes will be MFC'ed to 4.x soon.

My main interest has been on CPU throttling and poweroff, so I didn't
care much about suspend/resume. Does suspend/resume work reliably on
recent -CURRENT? I haven't used it after having experienced panics
(I believe that was something related to ppp code) back in 4-CURRENT days,
but if can resume reliably, that's definately a nice feature to have.
