Unload your USB HCI module, e.g. "modprobe -r ehci_hcd" for USB 2.0. You
might like to also unload any wireless NIC drivers you may have, as some
cause trouble after resume.

Make a script for sleep event, unload all problematic modules prior to
"echo mem > /sys/power/state" and reload the back afterwards in the same
script. This can be used in your acpid configuration and with proper
laptop-specific driver support bound to your special function buttons.
