I haven't played around with standby, but after a standard install, I upgraded my kernel to 2.4.22-gentoo-r4, recompiling with the following (below). This got the gnome battery applet working as well as getting the system to poweroff on shutdown. Of course, after compiling the kernel, I had to remerge pcmcia-cs.
My 54g card (Broadcom chip) doesn't appear to have any GPL or GPL-like source available for it (despite Broadcom's claim to support the Linux community), so I used "driverloader" from linuxant.com. It's commercial, but I decided to give it the 30-day trial they offer. I haven't had the opportunity to use it with anything but 802.11b APs, so I don't know if it works at 54 Mbits. But at 11, it works great.
Hope it helps, Roy
Roy,
Thanks for the kernel config snip, I will try it out as soon as 'emerge -u system' is done (I installed via GRP since I had no net connection at work last night, so it's pretty much updating EVERYTHING).
Poweroff on shutdown seems to work (via shutdown -h now)
I did an lspci this morning, and that's when I saw that this HP 54G actually is a Broadcom chip, so I downloaded the linuxant.com thing... another thing that will have to wait.
I just bought a D-Link 802.11g router (and picked up the laptop to go with it ;)), so I'll let you know what results I get.
Thanks again for the help, Aaron -- http://ka0ttic.dyndns.org/
