Bug Description
Binary package hint: powernap
powernap init script should enable WoL on valid interface(s)
ubuntu@node1:~$ sudo ethtool eth0
[sudo] password for ubuntu:
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ MII ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: MII
PHYAD: 1
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: g
Link detected: yes
This Wake-on: g is not persistent across boot. Thus, we need to run ethtool -s eth0 wol g to enable it as part of the powernap init script. Otherwise, it's possible to powernap a system, but not be able to powerwake it later.
