Since I leave my computer plugged in while sleeping, I was wondering if there is a way to force the Wi-Fi connection to stay connected to allow a faster wake-up process? Right now, I have to wait about 10 seconds for Wi-Fi to connect again when waking the computer. It works well, but I was hoping to keep the connection active so I can just start typing immediately after waking the computer. I've seen lots of discussion about making sure to turn Wi-Fi off to save battery life, but I'd like to do the opposite. Is this possible?

Thanks, I'm still trying to understand that information. Even after trying these commands, my Wi-Fi is still disconnecting during suspend.

What happened after issuing the second command?

My computer suspended. Nothing was changed in the state file on my machine. A normal suspend still causes Wi-Fi to drop.

What do you mean by "normal suspend"?
S3 ("normal sleep") or S4 ("normal hinbernate") will not keep the network up (wifi or not).
/sys/power/state is no regular file, it will always "contain" the possible states and when you write one into it, the system will enter that state.
