[Debian-eeepc-devel] usb persistent

[elijah r.]

If your motivations for wanting USB persist enabled are so that you
don't run into issues with the SD card when waking from suspend, I can
offer a small bit of advice.  I disabled suspend; I simply shutdown my
EeePC when I am done with it and turn it back on when I need it.  It
takes a bit longer to boot than it does to wake from suspend, but the
difference is more than made up for by the fact that the batteries
don't drain while the computer is off; this saves many more minutes.

Cheers,
Elijah
