Yes, I use APM since I had trouble with ACPI the last couple of times
I tried (using a stock Debian linux-kernel package). I have not tried
suspend-to-disk, but I use suspend-to-ram every day.

Felix, please check out http://www.newt.com/debian/thinkpad-t40p/.
Debian etch has recently migrated from devfs/hotplug to all udev. I'll
be updating this page with my new settings. In the meantime, I've
attached my new /etc/apm/events.d/local file that deals with the
issues raised above. Note that I use uhci_hcd and have blacklisted
ehci_hcd since it causes problems with my ThinkPad's docking station
for some reason.

# The ath_pci (used with the wireless network) and uhci_hcd (used with
# USB devices on docking station and Bluetooth) modules don't recover
# after suspending under 2.6 and udev. So, take down all networks upon
# suspend. Remove and insert uhci_hcd upon resume. The networking
# scripts will handle resetting the ath_pci module.
#
# Finally, esd gets hosed after a suspend and resume, so kill it
# before suspending and start it on resume. Starting it as wohler is
# ugly, but works.

# See apmd(8) for a description of the parameters passed to this script.
