i am hibernating / sleeping my pc after 10 min. while in hibernation I can see that the ethernet interface port LEDs are not on or blinking as an indication for "on" or standby mode. How to prevent the ethernet interface to sleep at all times in ubuntu? My main goal is to utilize the WoL feature to wake up my PC remotely. Some information:
$ sudo lshw -C network
