I have sl-6600 which run OZ 3.5.4.2-rc2 here.

2.6 has fast suspend/resume which does not have problems.

OK, usb-host driver need to be unloaded on suspend and loaded on resume 
but this is automatic in OZ 3.5.4.2-rc2.

Just tested in GPE (which I have on unit) and it wake up properly.

I got Tosa some time ago (it is one of OpenEmbedded project devices) and 
after spending some time with 2.4 kernel I decided that OpenZaurus will 
not support it in any newer releases then 3.5.4 - 2.6 kernel is work in 
progress but behave much better then 2.4 ever was.

So now only redrawing left.
