More info, that may help alot in understanding what is going on.

If I have my NIC in, and up, then and only then do I get the above problem.
Once I eject the nic, F4 works normally and results in the
 "apmd_proxy suspend system"
call, as it should.

(I just verified this once more)

So it looks like the bios or apm driver is changing the suspend into a standby
because the PCMCIA NIC (a waveland wireless card, FUI).

I just tried it with a 3com 3c589D-TP, and got the same result (F4 = standby).
