Getting wake-on-lan to work in Etch
Hi,
I am trying to get "wake on lan" to work in Etch. I have a motherboard
with an onboard NIC which supports wake-on-lan. I have enabled
wake-on-lan in the bios. When I poweroff the computer during POST, I am
able to remotely wake it, but if I shut it down from Etch, power to the
NIC is also being turned off and wake-on-lan does not work. I have
edited '/etc/init.d/halt' and removed the '-i' option from the 'halt'
command, but the NIC is still being powered down.
If I boot into single user mode (init 1) and call poweroff from there,
the NIC is kept alive after the computer is powered down. Another thing
I have noticed is that when I issue the 'poweroff' from runlevel 2, the
console displays the message "acpi_poweroff called" just before
powerdown and the NIC is also powered off. This message does not appear
when issuing poweroff from runlevel 1.
How can I configure the system to keep the NIC alive after shutting down
from runlevel 2?
Thanks,
Raj Kiran
