FYI, on my side I ensure the interface stays "awaken" (and not up, it can not stay "up", in the Unix meaning of this term, once the system has shut down) by putting these two lines in /etc/default/halt :
NETDOWN=no # to not shutdown the interfaces ethtool -s eth0 wol g # to activate the wake-on-lan facility Best regards, J.C. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44170 Title: Wake on LAN: No safe way to keep interface up -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
