Network connector on - pi5

[Jecat]

Is it possible to make the pi5 with wtware keep the network connector on while the pi5 is sleeping? I updated the pi5 eeprom.

Sorry, don't understand what are you talking about. Pi5 can sleep?

I use the turnoffmenu=poweroff function, I need the internet connector to not turn off when turning it off.

I have no ideas. Why do you think it is possible in hardware? With Raspberry OS, you can turn Raspberry off but leave network on?

It would probably be possible to run wake on lan, because the wake-up software will find it and can identify both the mac address and IP, and it also records the device being turned on and off. If the device could keep the lan on, it should be possible to wake it up via wol.zip

Software can not wake device up if wake on lan is not implemented in hardware.

On Raspberry forum people write wake on lan is not supported in Pi5 hardware: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=361644

Is it not possible to define this in the eeprom config?

No.

It has to work somehow, other clients built on ARM processors know this
