I have a hand-compiled kernel with APM support compiled in, which
works just fine. Also, I have recompiled the pcmcia-cs myself (a
snapshot release since I use kernel 2.1.124), and it does *not* come
back to life when it was suspended with my ethernet card in (Tecra 720 
CDT + 3Com 3C589D).

I have always encountered this behaviour, with whatever kernel and
whatever PCMCIA package I used, so I guess this is hardware specific.

So let's make this optional.
