Abstract
Techniques are provided to adjust network settings for network connectivity resources used by a host server. A network card device, coupled to the host server, receives instructions to adjust network settings associated with the host server. Power is received from the host server at the network card device in order to allow the network card device to configure the network settings while the host server is in a standby mode. The network card device receives commands to adjust the network settings while the host server is in the standby mode.
