Look att he suspend2 wiki.  Unfortunatley you will need to download an
upstream kernel source (not apt-get the ubuntu source) b/c the patch
set is fairly extensive.  
here's the main howto, which explains a fair bit:
http://www.suspend2.net/HOWTO

there's also a distro-specific howto, which I found particularly
helpful as I needed to make an initramfs (lvm requires this, otherwise
it is mostly not required and I would avoid it as it's a major pain).

http://wiki.suspend2.net/DistroAndHardwareSetup/Ubuntu_Breezy_Badger

there are various other kernel howtos out there; if you've not done it
before, you can take a look in /usr/share/docs/kernel-package & in
the debian user's guide (on the main debian site).  

Good luck -- it took me several tries to do this properly, but now it
works and is of course a totl dream, I can't live without it.

ps -- appears my earlier post was probably wrong -- in the last 2
weeks there's been a major flamewar at the linux-=kernel list ove this
very issue.  So it may be a VERY long time before suspend2 gets merged.
