As an experiment before upgrading to a newer kernel in this laptop,
which runs 64-bit Debian with my kernel 3.12.2 built from
https://www.kernel.org/ , yesterday evening I entered the directive:
shutdown -h now ... it did *and* it did not wake up, restart, etc.
until today that I turned it on from its power switch.
Thus, I agree taht it is possible that a driver may be causing the
issue in the hardware from the person that originated this topic.
Best Professional Regards.
