ACPI is very implementation dependent. Each vendor does their own little tweaks, at least that's what I've gotten out of reading about it. Since I take my machine back in forth to work every day, I'd like to be able to suspend it, go home and resume and for it to be able to deal with the network change cleanly. I've never been able to get suspend and resume to work on my HP laptop. I've spent a lot of time on it and tried a number of different kernels and patches. As I said, fighting with those kinds of issues isn't what I need to be spending my time on. Some of the other features of ACPI, CPU throttling, heat monitoring, etc seem to work okay. I am running 2.6.5 here. The ACPI support in 2.6 is much better than in 2.4.
