Not sure about special patches or what-not, but jkim has been working
on the suspend/resume code recently (even in the past few days).  Not
long ago, he committed a change to head that allowed me to suspend and
resume with my Dell Precision M6500 (and it's equipped with an NVIDIA
3800M, which from all known reports was filed under "won't happen" in
regard to s/r).  Oh, and the Intel 5300 WiFi works like a charm after
resume as well...

In this short period, a regression was even introduced and (kinda sorta) fixed.

Do you run up-to-date 10-CURRENT on your T60?
