Hi, Sorry for not having the answer, but I would like to add another question: if you disable eth0 by not using "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces, then doesn't the driver simply disable the hardware? So is "ifdown eth0" not enough to save power?
If so, then not having it enable at startup would mean to remove the "auto eth0" from your interfaces configuration. And that should be enough to save power.
