These are drivers, not firmware.
Now I found out something else - /etc/init.d/halt script has the part,
that should make possible to not shut down the network interfaces to
enable using the WOL.
When I commented out that part -
# Make it possible to not shut down network interfaces,
# needed to use wake-on-lan
# netdown="-i"
# if [ "$NETDOWN" = "no" ]; then
# netdown=""
# fi
shutdown seems to be succeeding and NIC is shut down, but of course
there is no way to use WOL this way.
Maybe the problem is related to this - NIC is left to this impossible
state, if WOL is not used AND it is not shut down. If WOL is used, then
leavind the interface up was not causing this behaviour i.e. NIC is
supposed to be shut down, when WOL is not used, but halt script is just
not getting it right?
