i want to add some things here.
As a linux user (Ubuntu 6.10 on a T42) I know that powermanagement is troublesome. There are some tricky things, you only need a driver that goes on rampage after STR/STHDD and you loose your Display after suspend. I can see the problems there, even as a non-programmer. But I would have thought a tiny/embedded system would have less problematic points. Especially when the hardware was designed to run a Linux OS. The thing about the buttons is probably that they are no ACPI or keyboard buttons and therefore can't wake the iLiad from a real suspend to RAM. (thats what I think, and some of you already mentioned here or at iRex's forum.)
