In theory, seen in many places on t'net, Windows won't come out of

Yes it's nice hibernation works as intended on this board, shame sleep
dosen't work as well as it should... though hibernation is pretty quick
with an SSD anyway so it's not really an issue.

... trouble is other things seem to wake it up as well...


The LAN hardware can probably be configured to respond not only to
the really rather carefully constructed Magic Packet and/or some
other packets that are musch more likely to occur in normal traffic.
The LAN port on my target machine is configured for Magic Packet
only. Or was I wouldn't be surpised if windows has tweaked it to some
other setting.


One thing that was annoyingly (and clearly by design) waking it, was a
DLNA app on my iPad, which just seems to try to power on anything it
sees (or has seen previously)...
