1. A system, comprising:

  • a host device including an interface with a network; and

    a device driver executable by the host device, the device driver including;

    logic that monitors host device requests to transmit packets from the host device to the network;

    logic that buffers the packets in memory of the host device when the host device network interface is estimated to be in a low power mode; and

    logic that initiates transition of the host device network interface to a full power mode based at least in part upon predefined criteria associated with the buffered packets;

    where transmission of the buffered packets to the network begins when the host device network interface enters the full power mode.
