I noticed that too. I edited the wiki page accordingly a few days ago.

Doesn't work on my machine. If someone can figure out the specifics of 
this, please add to the Lemote page on our wiki.

Lemote is still actively developping PMON [1]. You could submit bug 
reports about your problems.

Yeeloong-base does 2 things (so far): update the kernel and provide an 
init script for wifi. We've kept to 2.6.32 for a while now because there 
was no real need to update.

Yeeloong-base also pulls in grub-yeeloong because it's a nicer boot 
loader than PMON. It's slow, but I hear that's a lot better in newer 
versions of GRUB (should even be usable as a firmware replacement for 
PMON). We haven't got around to updating it yet.

Suspend and hibernate work for me with both .35 and .37. Make sure you 
edit the swap partition in /etc/fstab for .37. Do you get any error 
messages (check dmesg)?
