hm, not sure what's going on there, I would have expected some kind of difference here (obviously ).

It's not just on a single machine: another one with Ubuntu 11.10 does the same thing - can't wake up from soft-off state.

Found something; it appears to be a big in the netwprk driver in v11.10. Earlier version of tg3 (Broadcom) driver used to reset WOL on startup. Even with the recent driver, it seems that the network interface gets shutoff before power down. Manually shutting down the Ethernet interface and then issuing halt

Code:

ifconfig eth0 down
halt -f -p

fixes the problem. From this state, WOL works just fine. Trying to figure out a nice way of implementing this. Cheers!!
