Re: [PATCH] b44: power down PHY when interface down

I'd agree that there's a need for a state where we power down as much as
possible (even at the cost of functionality), but where possible it
would also be nice to offer a state where the mac is powered down and
the phy left up.

There are PHYs which can detect that someone's on the other end even
when powered down..
