It looks like there's some good news for the Tecra users out there. As
of this week, we've got some more functionality to play with:

- We can now suspend and wake up without a hitch.
- We can now hibernate and return to usable state, but the sky2 ethernet
device isn't functional when brought up. However, we do return to a
usable state rather than hang.

Remaining serious issues:
- Wireless continues to be unusable via ipw2200's firmware and TX_POWER
errors.

- As mentioned, the wired ethernet isn't restore after a hibernation.

Remaining minor issues:
- Hotkeys remain elusive.

- No dimming of screen when switching to battery power.
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/64865
- No card reader support (lack of a driver).
