There is also a per-device sysctl of the form: dev.DEVICE.%d.wake Setting it to 1 notifies the BIOS that you wish for this device to be able to wake the system. Setting it to 0 disables this. Give it a try, however, not every device is properly exported to ACPI by the BIOS so it may not be available. Also, it may require some per-device support, not just acpi. I haven't really done much more work on this other than making sure the acpi part works as the spec says. -- Nate
