Do you have wake-on-lan enabled? Any setting that would wake on network activity? Could be you're interrupting or amplifying a signal - Ethernet or WiFi - that is causing the OS to think it's getting traffic.
No Wifi, as it simply doesn't have a wifi adaptor.
Ethernet is a possibility. I tested it right now and removing the Ethernet cable doesn't cause a wake-up, but I suppose it's possible that slight interference if the cable were just slightly moved might cause it to register traffic plus a continued connection, enough to cause a wakeup. I'll try tinkering with that, thanks!
Interesting. Wake-On-Lan is not only traffic, you need to send the MAC in the packages.
Maybe some shielding problem?
It's only a theory; if you don't have wake-on-lan enabled, it'd probably not be even a consideration.
