Disabling eth0 Module on a Macbook Aluminum
- by user115488
The Ubuntu page for my device states the following at the bottom (Known Issues)
PowerTOP reports that the module for the 10/100/1000 interface wakes
the processor 100+x/sec, accounting for 50% of wakeups on an idle
system. This dramatically shortens battery life. One potential
solution is to unload this module if you only use wireless.
I only use wireless, but I could not find instructions to "unload the module". I have a feeling if I try something related to this, but not the same, battery life will not improve and my eth0 won't work. Anyone have a good guide on this?
