[ltp] TP suspend/hibernation

[James M. Corey]

I'm sure people have automated it better,  but on my TP600E I lock the
X screen and then close the lid, which (after configuring so) will
result in the apm command running this script before suspending:

chvt 1
ifdown ppp0
cardctl eject & killall pump
sleep 1
killall pump

As you can see, RedHat's pump program gets in the way.  Some people
have recommended using regular dhcp instead.  I really should do that.
Also, the little script is kinda strange looking and I don't
remember why I wrote it that way, but it works pretty well.

Hope some of this is useful with your TP570 despite the model
differences.
