Users of Toshiba laptops or netbooks don't need to install or download the Sleep-and-Charge utility Toshiba provides for Windows. Even Linux users (like me), can take advantage of the Sleep and Charge feature by enabling the settings in the BIOS. With Sleep and Charge enabled, users can plug in their USB device like the iPod Touch or iPad and recharge while the system is powered down or while the machine is asleep.
The Toshiba NB520 has a single Sleep and Charge USB port on the left hand side and even with openSUSE 12.2 installed can charge USB devices with the netbook powered off or while the machine is in Sleep mode.
To enable Sleep and Charge on the Toshiba NB520:
1. Press F2 on boot to access the BIOS.
2. On the Advanced tab, select the Sleep and Charge item. Press Enter and click Auto mode.
3. Press F10 to save changes and exit the BIOS.
