First post + question about power management

Hi everyone. I am a relatively new Gentoo user. I have a Toshiba 1415-s105 notebook with a toshiba minipci wifi card. The card uses the orinoco drivers. Here is my dillema:

I want to get power management enabled so that I can set the pc into suspend mode so that I can pack it back into my book bag. I found that when my wireless usb mouse is plugged in, and in the GUI i tell the pc to go into suspend, it shuts down fine, but upon resume it gives me an "orinoco_lock() called with hw_unavailable (dev='somenumbers'). The interesting part is that when the usb adapter is not connected, and i shut it down it works fine.

Any ideas????

BTW if you need any more info on anything let me know.

Thanks!

i dont know in how far the orinoc driver itself is ready for supend/resume but the usb system already has a lot of trouble with it.
Safest way at the moment is to build every usb stuff as module(usbcore,[oui]hci-hd, hid, ...) and unload them before you suspend. And then load them again after resume.

Is there a script that does this for the suspend/resume operation or is there something else that I have to do?
