Bug Description
Powernap upstart script assumes that ethtool returns following string for network interfaces that support wake-on-lan:
"Supports Wake-on: g"
Whereas in my case the ethtool response is following:
"Supports Wake-on: pumbg"
In such case the script will wrongly assume that the network interface does not support wake-on-lan.
Furthermore this behavior should be optional or configurable as it can interfere with users settings.
e.g. I'm using following " etc/network/
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth1 wol u
Which sets the wake-on-lan into unicast packets mode.
