Could you please post your exact model number?  It seems that different
TP600 models (//e/x) have to be treated differently in order to suspend,
and the model numbers are more informative than the suffix letters.

This doesn't work for me either, and it always puzzled me why.  I got
accustomed to recall "sudo cardctl eject" from shell history before
suspending.  It's interesting that the carrier light on my card stays on
with a 2.6 kernel.  On a 2.4 kernel the card seems to be completely shut
off after an "eject".  I also have "cardctl eject" in my event.d scripts
and the last time I checked it got definitely called -- but didn't do
the trick...
