Comment 58 for bug 160413

Well, I was wrong thinking your patch doesn't produce any effect because of initramfs. After rebuilding initrd I noticed that when shutting down the machine results in a reboot within less than one second. I also noticed that the ethtool output now indicates :

py@PC-FIXE2:~$ sudo ethtool eth0
[sudo] password for py:
Settings for eth0:
        Supported ports: [ TP ]
        Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                                1000baseT/Full
        Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
        Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                                1000baseT/Full
        Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
        Speed: 100Mb/s
        Duplex: Full
        Port: Twisted Pair
        PHYAD: 0
        Transceiver: internal
        Auto-negotiation: on
        Supports Wake-on: pumbg
        Wake-on: pg
        Current message level: 0x00000033 (51)
        Link detected: yes

So, since it is supposed to wake up on PHY activity it is not completely a surprise.

I tried to manually set wol to "g" only (ethtool -s eth0 wol g). Invoking ethtool again indicates "Wake-on : g" but when I sut down again the machine, it reboots within the next second after shutdown. I tried to setup a starup script that sets "ethtool -s eth0 wol g" in each runlevel but with the same result.

In advance, thank you for your help.
