USB Macbook Pro unable to wake up from

Hello everyone, I have been trying to figure this one out for a while. I have been using my macbook in a dock, I have one at home and one at work. Under MacOS, I can insert the computer into the dock, hit a key on the keyboard and it will wake up the computer.

When I am booted in to Linux, I have to disable sleep on the computer, close it, and then it will work in the dock. Or I have to reboot the computer quickly and put it in the dock.

Basically from what i have been able to determine when I am booted into macos, the USB ports stil have power applied to them and will accept inputs. Under Linux, the ports are shut completely off.

So what I am trying to figure out, is there a way while still asleep that the computer can recognize when you plug in a usb device and that will wake up the computer? I am fairly confident that there is a way to do it, since the hardware supports it when booted in to MacOS.

Thanks for any suggestions on this.
