Package: ifupdown Version: 0.6.7 Severity: normal
It appears that ifdown, when run during the shutdown of a Debian system, disables any Wake-on-LAN settings which may have been set with ethtool whilst the system was running. This then prevents the system from being started up again remotely. A (very unsatisfactory) workaround is to comment out the line invoking "ifdown" in /etc/init.d/networking. A better fix would surely be for ifdown to leave the NIC's WOL settings alone. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.5-athlon3 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB) Versions of packages ifupdown depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii net-tools 1.60-10 The NET-3 networking toolkit -- debconf information: ifupdown/convert-interfaces: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
