That's exactly why I proposed to share our experiences. Great that it might
help!

How does it fail actually? Would it be because of X11/video issue?

In fact I don't use any customized script to suspend-to-ram or -to-disk, but
I think that it should work fine w/ tools from stock FC5.

I don't know at all what mechanism is raised when I press the Fn+StandBy key
(suspend-to-ram) or Fn+Suspend (suspend-to-disk) and they work well. It's not
acpid, probably not GNOME, so what else, the kernel?

Also, suspending to ram or to disk work well from the GNOME menus.
pm-hibernate and pm-suspend work well too (maybe those ones are used by
GNOME?), as I wrote in one of my previous email (other thread about
button/power).

Sorry, I only had to use WEP keys for wifi connections..
