Hi Thomas,

many thanks for your mail. You know what:

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO, HAT TIP & THUMBS UP!

I followed your advice to add the line "blacklist alx" into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, rebooted and managed to go 3 times in suspend in a row without any problems a.k.a. the X201e not waking up again.

Thus, I would say problem solved @ 99%. Give me one day to test it again and I will present my findings.

If I get it right, it's not only affecting pm-utils [if at all?], but also the kernel module. Perhaps this should be added as an info above in the header. Do you know the exact "project" to chose, Thomas?

Ha, what Asus' so-called "technical support" was unable to fix because of a "lack of experience with Ubuntu", you can. I'm delighted! This is the bright side of the internet.

Best,
Alex
