After some tests, "pre-down false" is not a workaround for me. I still have the problem even though ifupdown is not bringing down the interface. The computer is deaf to wake on lan magic packet after ubuntu shutdown.
I therefore suspect thet ifupdown may not be the (only) package concerned. FYI, everything was working properly under Edgy. Problem appeared for me after upgrading to Feisty. -- Wake on LAN: No safe way to keep interface up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
