Acpi - Nsc6001

The NSC6001, once triggered, doesn't just wake one machine. It uses that machine's ACPI bus to scan for other 6001 chips within inductive range—even unpowered ones. It then broadcasts the wake harmonic through the ground plane of the motherboard, turning every copper trace into a transmitting antenna.

The NSC6001 hardware itself is stable, but driver issues arose primarily because early operating systems often misidentified its purpose. The most common problem was an (I/O ports and IRQs) needed by the IrDA chip, which the nsc-ircc driver was supposed to manage. acpi nsc6001

If you cannot disable the device, give it a harmless driver. The NSC6001, once triggered, doesn't just wake one machine

The ACPI\NSC6001 hardware ID corresponds to a National Semiconductor IrDA Fast Infrared Port, primarily used in older Acer laptop models. Drivers for this legacy component can be installed via Windows Device Manager, typically requiring compatibility modes for Windows 10 or 11, or by disabling the device to clear error warnings.
