Dear Linux folks,


On a Dell Latitude E7250 with Debian sid/unstable, PowerTOP 2.14 reports 
the network device uses over 1.5 Watt, which is almost ten percent of 
the whole system.

       1.62 W    435,9 pkts/s                Device 
Netzwerkschnittstelle: eno1 (e1000e)

     $ lspci -nn | grep Ether
     00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet 
Connection (3) I218-LM [8086:15a2] (rev 03)
     $ uname -a
     Linux ersatz 5.17.0-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 5.17.1-1~exp1 
(2022-03-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux

 From atop:

     NET |  eno1      0% |  pcki    2421 |  pcko    2194 |  sp 1000 Mbps 
|  si 1501 Kbps  | so  140 Kbps  | erri       0  | erro       0  | drpo 
      0  |

So I receive 1.5 Mbps, and send 0.14 Mbps.

Is such high energy usage expected of the network hardware?


Kind regards,

Paul
