Whoa! Lets not go crazy here! All you need to do is to shut the pcmcia
devices down. My T23 has everything built in so I haven't played with
this for a while, but on my old 600X, all you needed to do was to use
cardctl. I don't remember if I used 'suspend/resune' or
'eject/insert'. I think I even had it working from apmd so that it
would shut them down when you pressed the hibernate key combo, and
restart them when you came back from hibernation, but I could have
hallucinated that - I normally suspend using a script-file that does
some additional things before shutting down.
