X60: ethernet LED still on when machine is powered off or suspended

A little quirk I noticed. If I put the machine in suspend while an
ethernet cable is plugged in to a switch (or if plugging it in after
suspending), the green light from the ethernet/eth0 is still active.

Any ideas?

The same thing also happens while the machine is powered off, if I
leave the AC adapter/charger connected.

I can't recall but I did have laptops that would light the LED even
when off, I always assumed it was the ME
