I just tried 'acpiconf -s 3' twice.  First from vty8, and then 
konsole within KDE.  Neither was for very long (seconds, not minutes) 
but ath0 functioned after resume.

FWIW: '-s 4' powers off the system immediately without a shutdown.  '-
s 5' does a shutdown.

When I suspend from within X, the screen does not turn off totally.  
It dims significantly until it is almost black, but I can still see 
the windows that were/are open.

The mouse cursor went away, but came sback after a HUP.

http://www.freebsddiary.org/ibm-thinkpad-t41.php has a section on 
suspend/resume.  But I have not tried those settings yet.

I'm running dhclient too. No WEP here,  but I'm using IPsec.
