** Description changed: Ubuntu Version: 10.4 Motherboard: Asus P6T Deluxe V2 Expected behavior: The ethernet port should be shut down when the computer turns off. What happens instead: The port starts sending "fake data", the activity LED for the port starts flashing, both on my router and computer. The reason I say "fake data" is because if you attempt to capture the data nothing appears to sent. Steps to reproduce it: 1. Install a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.4 from a live CD (possibly other sources as well) 2. Start the computer and log in 3. Turn the computer of via software or the chassi button (not a hard reset though) Workaround: Either I need to turn off the PSU or kill the power, this is a poor solution though. A better solution is to create a file named S89ethFix in the /etc/rc0.d/ folder containing #! /bin/sh ifconfig eth0 down With the fix the port is correctly shut down. + Additional information: + This bug actually causes my router (a DLink DIR-655) to freeze, probably because it's buffers becomes full. + Post on superuser.com: http://superuser.com/questions/136670/computer-sending-data-while-turned-off Post on ubuntuforums.org: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9617739
