I recently migrated to XBMCbuntu from Mythbuntu.
I appear to be having problem with WoL. WoL itself works great. If the machine is off, I can wake it up.
However, it appears that by having WoL enabled (ethtool), when I shutdown the system, the system immediately restarts! It's as if a magic packet is constantly being sent to the thing.
If I unplug the ethernet cable, shutdown works fine.
If I manually disable the WoL using ethtool after boot, and then shut down, it works fine.
Additionally, I can't seem to force disable WoL upon boot. I tried by adding the following into /etc/network/interfaces under eth0:
But after reboot, "g" (enabled) still appears in ethtool.
So the only way I can disable is manually through BIOS. (Ideally I WANT WoL, but not if this auto-reboot stuff keeps happening)
Any idea what would cause WoL to force a reboot upon shutdown?
And any idea what would force it WoL "g" after reboot?

Quote:up ethtool -s eth0 wol d(d = disable)
