Bug#650013: [gnome-power-manager] Suspend hangs on HP4730s when uswsusp is not installed

[Ondřej Kunc]

Hi,

I've found one thing ... it doesn't depend on package uswsusp but on 
package firmware-linux-nonfree. I'm sorry for this wrong information, 
because I had installed this package because of kernel complain on boot. 
So uswsusp is not needed. But pm-suspend hangs computer when 
firmware-linux-nonfree is not installed.
The missing file is CAICOS_pfp.bin. How can we solve this for standard 
users ?
