Subject: RE: [E1000-devel] [PATCH] e1000: the power down when running ifdown
	command

FWIW, in e1000e the PHY is already powered down when the interface is brought down if WoL and manageability are disabled.  There is an issue where the PHY remains powered on when the driver is removed for which I have a patch already queued up here at Intel.
