Normally people expect that shutting the lid on a laptop will cause it to go to sleep.

Remote wakeup settings are configurable via /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup. At this point nobody has settled on a new API for suspending the devices. It's quite possible that different drivers or different buses will use their own individual APIs. Alan Stern ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
