Re: TP755, hibernate and ethernet
I have an IBM Ethernet card in a 755C (same one I had in the 720C before
that). I have been successful with both machines and 3 versions of OS/2 at
getting the machine to both hibernate and suspend. I will admit that it took
a bunch of playing around with the various drivers for PCMCIA, and I'm using a
combination of stuff from Warp and from the Thinkpad diskettes -- but, hey, it
works! Don't lt IBM tell you it can't be done if I can do it with their own
card on a 755C! Oh, one interesting glitch -- although I can suspend using
the keyboard controls, I can't hibernate from the keyboard -- I have to use
the "fuel" program to hibernate. Sometimes the machine won't hibernate but if
I do a suspend then a hibernate, it always works. It's an aggravation, but it
works well enough that I decided not to fiddle with it further.
