Public bug reported: /etc/init.d/halt and /etc/init.d/reboot use "-i" as argument. This disables the networking interfaces and renders WoL-settings unusable (at least on my board, ASUS M2N-E with nvidia forcedeth). After removal of the parameter and setting the right WoL modus with ethtool I'm able to wake-up my box from standby.
That flag should either be omitted by default or there should be a way to configure it outside the actual initscript. ** Affects: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- /etc/init.d/(halt|reboot) disables WoL https://launchpad.net/bugs/71418 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
