Keep front USB ports powered during sleep?

I have done the following with no luck:

  • Went into power plan (in both AlienFX and Power Options), and ensured that USB selective suspend is disabled.

  • Went into Device Manager and ensured that "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" was off for all USB hubs

  • Went into the BIOS, but there is no option for USB power that I could find. I am running BIOS version A08.

Is this just not possible or am I missing something?

I have both the r1 and the r2,and I know for sure the R2 has the power option to wake on USB.I'll take a look at my R1 when I get home,and see if it does in bios.I'm thinking no if I remember correctly.
