Just upgraded from Hardy to Jaunty and my wake on lan stopped working. I'm using a realtek 8168 on board NIC, although I notice the driver is 8169. Have tried editing halt script, using ethtool and disabling ifdown commands in /etc/init.d/networking all to no avail.

Does anyone have a fix? Should I try replacing the driver with the 8168 from realteks website? I downloaded it but couldn't figure out how to make it compile.

Thanks...
Geoff
