Macbook is warm when in sleeping mode

Macbook is warm when in sleeping mode.

I found that this problem is because I have connected Belkin Ethernet via USB Type-C

When I disconnect Belking Ethernet and put my mac to sleep - it is doesn't heat

The behavior is very starnge

How can I disable LAN connectivity when my mac is in sleep mode?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.3

Ethernet (wired) network goes to sleep when locking the user session or when user logged out Hello, I need to keep the ethernet (wired) network connection of my Mac Mini (late 2014 model with MacOS Monterey 12.1) always up (so it never goes to sleep) so my wifi document scanner can always save scanned files to it. It looks like the network goes to sleep when I lock my user session on the mac or when my user is logged out. Is there a setting/preference to keep the ethernet connection always on? I've tried changing "Conserve Power" settings (enabled never sleep the screen, enabled prevent your mac from ..., disabled put hard disk ..., enabled wake from network, enabled startup after power failure, disabled enable power nap) but it seems it does not help. I've also seen the "airport" command line tool and its "DisconnectOnLogout=NO" preference for doing the same on the Wifi adapter but it cannot be used with the ethernet adapter ... Thanks in advance for your help.

Wi-fi connected but not working after sleep-wake (Monterey) Hi, I have the following problem after updating to Monterey: if my MacBook Air M1 sleeps for more than 2-3 hours, after waking up the internet is not working (although the wi-fi is connected). reconnecting wi-fi does not help. the only thing that helps is a full restart. any ideas? thanks
