Many many years ago, I had a similar hibernate/suspend foul-up on a
Windows machine, and fooling around with the plug-in cards sorted things
out.  One card just wouldn't let it work, so it had to be abandoned.
Another card needed moving around into a different slot, so it didn't
share IRQs with something else.

PC cards are notorious for all kinds of bad behaviour (not adhering to
specifications or standards, requiring special drivers to compensate for
bad hardware design, etc.).

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
