This works, but using vbetool it is possible to make it work even with OpenGL
support.

I do not know what was the problem, swsusp still does not work for me.

But the proposed solution with suspend2 and compression works flawlessly (as for now)
and it is quite fast (with the swap target).

The 1.0.0 version included in stock 2.6.14-2 Debian kernel does not do WPA.
However, the 1.0.8, included as ipw2200-source package in Debian unstable works fine.
Had I read thoroughly the wiki, I would have known that...

Looks like _all_ the things work now. Unbelievable.

Thank you for the help :-)
