[Discuss] Unable to disable Wake On Lan

[edwardp at linuxmail.org (edwardp at linuxmail.org)]

I am pleased to report that this problem has been resolved.

In /etc/network/interfaces:

#The primary network interface
iface eth0 lo inet loopback
    	post-up /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol d

Removing 'auto eth0' from this file caused ethtool to run the command
successfully, to disable wake-on-lan.

'ethtool eth0' now shows:

Wake-on: d

and the port light on the router is now out, when the system is shutdown.
