SubjectUnusual power consumption of ethernet device r8169 and backlight
From
I am seeing somewhat very high power consumption usage of the network
device and backlight

Here is what report powertop, network can go as high as 9W
8.03 W 100.0% Device Display backlight
5.19 W 23.1 pkts/s Device Network
interface: p20p1 (r8169)

When turning off backlight , it effectively vanish and reflect in
power usage, i can't turn off the network device.

So question is this backlight consumption expected ? And am i right
assuming that the network driver is doing something horribly wrong
that the consumption is so high (i must stress that it doesn't matter
if there is network activities or not, plug or unplugged it doesn't
change).

Cheers,
Jerome Glisse
