I'm trying to hack/test a network driver's ability to

find anything on the wiki, and the only related manpage is for pm-pmu.
FWIW, suspend didn't seem to work, but hibernate did (aside from a
bunch of lockdep warnings). As near as I can tell though, my network
module is unloaded instead of suspended because I think it gets swept
up in the modunload() function of /etc/pm/functions.
It'd help if I could find some documentation on Fedora power
management, to try and get an understanding of how it's all supposed
to work. Any ideas where I can find some docs?
Well, there's a link to quite an old presentation I wrote here
http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/public/gnome-power-manager.pdf
which mentions how pm-utils fits into the stack, although the document
needs updating with the latest PolicyKit and ConsoleKit coolness.
I've also attached the pm-utils README file from CVS which might help.
I agree, this stuff needs better documenting - a wiki page might be
best, or maybe just manpages for the other tools.
