Possibly because newest FSO release (5.5?) has not yet come to Debian.
Coming soon(ish).

I don't remember if 2.6.28 or 2.6.29 is now the default in Debian. One
should generally install the 2.6.29 kernel - but the lingering problem
regarding 2.6.29 there is the omission of the patch that makes wifi
really work there http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2277 . 2.6.28
has other problems, but 2.6.29 with that patch basically rocks for
everything. I have a self-compiled 2.6.29 + patch in use.

Works fine with my USB, I have the usual NAT forwarding on my laptop.
Though nowadays I actually forward the network via Bluetooth to Neo :)
(and also the other way around, from Neo to laptop when on road).

Press the power button? Also, in the wiki guide there are instructions
about suspend settings in general.
