Having read that the interface card is capable to reply to icmp echo
requests, my next question should be this: Why does does the card assume
that we are using the internet protocols? (On a side note, this does
no good to those who ping the machine and conclude that everything is well
with the ip layer of the halted machine, when in fact it should be dead.)
My real complain is when I read "System halted", my assumption has
always been that the cpu has executed the x86 HALT instruction . Why
not, it consumes a lot less enery in this state.
