nope not UEFI, thanks. Unless I have it wrong I am not too familiar
with this Uefi stuff.<br>
<br>
However I think I am on something here... that's an old "todo" but
seems to be consistent with my observation <br>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="USB_power_management">USB power
management</span></h2>
<p>A feature not yet implemented is USB power management. This is
currently work in progress.
With this feature, active USB devices are automatically
deactivated
when not used. A good example where this makes sense might be a
web
cam. However, this cannot be set on all systems and all
devices automatically. A whitelist is needed, which makes the
implementation a no-one-liner.
</p>
<p>For activating it, userspace can write to the sysfs files in
/sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/level for each individual USB device
like that:
</p>
<pre>for dev in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/level; do
echo auto > $dev
done
</pre>
<p>This can save up to about 2 W, depending on the hardware in use.
You can enable laptop-mode-tools to control this by editing
/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf.<br>
