The correct way to do enable WOL is to add the following to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
ETHTOOL_OPTS="wol g"
It would not work for me, because ETHTOOL_OPTS is only honored in ifup-eth
script, not in ifdown-*. Once my NIC is *down* it ignores any packet sent
to it. The only way (for me) to have WOL is to create a halt.local script
as I described before. It also does not require any initscript
modifications which could be lost after an update. :)
D'oh! I should have noticed earlier that you're using atl1. Yeah, that's a
driver bug. The fix is queued up for the 2.6.25 upstream kernel.
