Your apm daemon should run certain scripts whan an apm suspend/resume 
event occurs: as part of these scripts you can bring interfaces down, cut
power to pcmcia cards, etc. Try looking in /etc/apmd_proxy.
Mine unloads the sound drivers, brings down the network interfaces, and
cuts power to the pcmcia cards.

It is a clean solution - it just happens to live in userspace rather than
kernel space. The apm deamon runs the script to bring all the suspend
blocking things down, then runs the script with a 'resume' argument to
bring them back up when you wake the laptop up.

Although personally I find suspend on lid close very annoying, so I've
disabled it. If anyone knows hot to disable resume on lid open on an A20p,
I'd like to know.... [tried tpctl - it shows resume on open as enabled,
but doesn't list any options: does this mean it's not configurable, or
just that tpctl doesn't allow tweaking of this on my laptop [yet]]
