Re: usb driver problem when suspending from acpid

[Nigel Cunningham]

Hi.

Since you're talking swsusp for 2.4 kernels, this message should go to
the swsusp-devel list. (Added in this reply). Some of the guys there use
usb more than I do, so you might get a useful reply when they see this.

Regards,

Nigel
