GTR-5900HX sleep mode problem

rmarion59

if using the Realtek Ethernet Port #1 or #2... open Terminal (CTRL+ALT+X) then type;

sudo modprobe -r r8169
sudo modprobe -i r8169

If using the AMD/Mediatek RZ608 aka MT7931e (in Linux)... open Terminal (CTRL+ALT+X) then type;

sudo modprobe -r mt7931e
sudo modprobe -i mt7931e


You may also create a script e.g. refresh-network.sh into: /lib/systemd/system-sleep/ folder with

#!/bin/bash
sudo modprobe -r r8169
sudo modprobe -r mt7931e
sudo modprobe -i r8169
sudo modprobe -i mt7931e

then change the permissions with:

sudo chmod a+x refresh-network.sh

You may also restart the network manager service (last line in the script);
sudo service network-manager restart

It works for me. I hope it helps!

Great for Linux, but I can't get mine with Windows 11 to work right.  Device never comes out of sleep mode unless I actually push and hold the power button for about 2 seconds.  Of course if I hold the button for five seconds, the system shuts down completely.  No matter what I try, my device will not wake from any input, be it network or USB device.

AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX doesn't seem to be "ErP Ready" (Energy-related Products). ErP mode is another name for a state of BIOS power management features that instructs the motherboard to turn off power to all system components, including USB and Ethernet ports meaning your connected devices will not charge while in a low power state.

It is possible to tweak Windows (just like in Linux) to power off all USB ports on shutdown and turning power on all USB ports on power on using a script (cmd file, powershell script) BUT it is not pretty!
