Package: sysvinit Version: 2.86.ds1-38 Followup-For: Bug #405870 Wake on LAN does not work here (Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 ethernet controller). ethtool reports that wake on lan is enabled $ ethtool eth0 ... Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: d
I suspect the issue is related to what reported in bug #405870. Wake on lan is enabled in the BIOS. If I shutdown the machine manually from the grub menu (i.e. before starting the OS), the network card correctly remains active (LED flashing). On the other hand, if I shutdown using halt, poweroff or shutdown commands, the network card is switched off, even if I set NETDOWN=no in /etc/default/halt , thus making WOL impossible. The original bug report seems to be quite old, any progress on this? Do I understand it correctly that the only workaround at the moment is recompiling "halt" from upstream source? thank you, tiziano -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages sysvinit depends on: ii initscripts 2.86.ds1-38 Scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 1.32-3 SELinux shared libraries ii libsepol1 1.14-2 Security Enhanced Linux policy lib ii sysv-rc 2.86.ds1-38 System-V-like runlevel change mech ii sysvinit-utils 2.86.ds1-38 System-V-like utilities sysvinit recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
