[gentoo-user] Suspend to ram: correct behavior?

[damian]

Hi,

When I suspend to ram my laptop I've noticed the usb ports still yield
energy (the light of my external hard drive stays on) and also the led
of the wired network device is on. Is this supposed to happen? I think
it should be a problem because the laptop consumes more energy that
way. Does anybody know how to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Damian.
