Just tried the new 424 kernel and it has PCMCIA problems on my ThinkPad
A22p that did not occur with 2.6.5-1.358 or 2.6.6-1.422.  When manually
ejecting cards, 424 produces the following error messages on all Xterms:

  kernel: unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. 
    Usage count = 1

and then there was no apparent way of restarting any networking or
getting the prompts back.  A shutdown failed to complete as systemlogger
just kept repeating the above error message (pulled power and ejected
battery to eventually shut it off).

Also, due to the above pcmcia problems, I was only able to test APM
suspend once but it did work using the method described at:
