Hmmm, not mines. When I hit the power button for like 1-3
seconds, I can see the lights change but the network portion atleast still
isn't operating.
The LEDs change on mine too, same as they do when I resume in Windows XP. (The screen stays off, this is the bug.)

Not sure what you mean by "the network portion". Some network services don't react kindly to being suspended/resumed, but that's a different problem that can be worked around by stopping them before suspend, and restarting them on resume. I had some scripts that did this for 4.X, will port them to -current once I can resume... :-)

 I don't even know if the problem is FreeBSD related
since on the DellTalk Forums at dell.com, people are having issues with
suspend/resume even in WindowsXP where the machine will suspend but it
will not wake up except in WindowsXP, the screen does go off but the
screen will not go back on even when it resumes.
FWIW, mine suspends and resumes perfectly in Windows XP. Be sure to run the latest Dell BIOS and device firmwares.
