I had that problem with at server at home, i wanted it to run as "sleepy" as possible (energy savings for a 24/7 machine). every device went to sleep, even the network interface (same message as you), then the server looked frozen, and didn't take any keyboard input. BUT a simple ping to it from another machine was enough to wake it up again. did you try that ? of course you need to configure the hardware to monitor the NIC so that any activity on it makes the machine wake up again.
