Bug Description
/etc/init.d/halt and /etc/init.d/reboot use "-i" as argument. This disables the networking interfaces and renders WoL-settings unusable (at least on my board, ASUS M2N-E with nvidia forcedeth). After removal of the parameter and setting the right WoL modus with ethtool I'm able to wake-up my box from standby.
That flag should either be omitted by default or there should be a way to configure it outside the actual initscript.

A big thank you to the chap who logged this!
I've been struggling for the last six months or more to wake my Mythtv backend from my frontend and was just about to order a new motherboard when I found this bug.
(My motherboard is an Asus P5b-VM with a Realtek on board NIC).
Since making this change it now wakes up nicely. I just need to work out how to disable the R8169 driver now and replace it with Realtek's own R8168 driver.
Please can I add my voice to those requesting this bug to be fixed?
Many thanks...
