[iBook] wireless mouse waking up iBook from sleep

[Benjamin Kennedy]

Johan,

Have you tested to see if the problem persists with a wired mouse? On 
my 600 mhz iBook, having any mouse at all plugged in will cause the 
machine to wake from sleep periodically (without me touching the mouse 
of course). I've never found anyone else with this problem, so I just 
unplug the mouse when I want the computer to sleep. I've only used 
Logitech mice, and they claim never to have heard of this problem and 
offered no solution. Apple, of course, blamed Logitech.
