Hi Karl, thanks for the suggestion, I can't work out (even with
google's help) how to use sysctl to access /sys/devices.  Some links
suggested that I should be able to use devices.pci000.... but when I
try I get

$ sysctl devices.pci0000:00.0000:00:1a.0.power.wakeup
sysctl: cannot stat
/proc/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a/0/power/wakeup: No such file
or directory

I can't find the devices hierarchy anywhere under /proc/sys.
