A few tips:
The sl-modem drivers are in debian (testing and unstable), package names:
sl-modem-daemon - SmartLink software modem daemon
sl-modem-source - SmartLink software modem driver - module building source
They are a breeze to install using debian make-kpkg
And for the w-lan card check out http://ipw2100.sf.net, Intel and the
community are writing an open-source driver.

My 291LCi has the intel graphics chips, so I'm not sure if i can help but..

There is a patch somewhere in acpi bugzilla, bug number 1588. It
remedied the resume problem for me a couple of kernels ago =)
But I don't use it anymore so I don't know it's status
The ony problems I have had with hibernation (software suspend 1 and
2) are AGPART and DRI related. The drivers didn't support it, so the
computer hanged/restarted on resume. Disabling them fixed the problem
(but gave much worse X performance). You might try it.

Stick with 2.6.x.
And don't forget to compile the cpufreq support and it's centrino
driver.
Also take a look at laptop-mode
(http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/index.html).
