Package: initscripts Version: 2.88dsf-41 Severity: normal I spent some time to day setting up a build server that I could wake remotely by Wake-on-LAN.
I discovered that, while I did setup my LAN card to support WOL (through "ethtool -s eth0 wol g"), WOL wasn't working because the interface card is brought down before halt. /etc/init.d/halt has a mechanism to avoid this and does indeed "simply" require that "NETDOWN=no" is set in /etc/default/halt Would it be possible on indeed document that variable in this file. I'm not sure why the default is to bring the interface down but at least it could allow people to more easily learn about this possibility. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initscripts depends on: ii coreutils 8.13-3.3 ii debianutils 4.3.4 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian9 ii mount 2.20.1-5.3 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-41 ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-41 Versions of packages initscripts recommends: ii e2fsprogs 1.42.5-1.1 ii psmisc 22.20-1 initscripts suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/rcS changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
