I have a 755cx with a PCMCIA ethernet card (called ICCard - DE650 CT clone), and I am running OS/2 Warp Connect (I also have a Linux partition). My problem is that whenever the machine goes into suspend or hibernate mode (either deliberately or automatically) the suspend light flashes for a short while without blanking the screen, or displaying the "saving RAM to disk" screen and then the entire machine seizes up - screen intact, mouse mobile, but nothing else responding to anything - Ctrl-Esc, Ctrl-Alt-Del, even the Watchcat serial port trigger doesn't work. The only thing I can do is to reboot with the switch, which means that OS/2 has to run through a complete check disk. I understand that the TP755 is not suposed to go into suspend/hibernate with an ethernet card inside - and that is the only help I have had from IBM helpline, but totally crashing the entire computer seems a rather extreme way of dissuading you from trying it, especially if it is not even attatched to a network at the time! I have tried ejecting the ethernet card when this happens, my hibernate file is up to date, and suspend is "non-safe" so I think that it does not use a hibernate file (or am I wrong there?). Is this a universal problem, is there a way round it, and do other ehternet cards behave in less dramatic ways?
