What happens if Octavio disables wakeup for that controller before suspending? echo disabled >/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:0b.0/power/wakeup Alan Stern -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
