Support for Wake On LAN

Would like to request the following changes (could make it more easy to support WOL):

/etc/config.d/wol:

# Comment out the following line to support Wake On LAN
WOL_ARGS="-i"

/etc/rc.shutdown (or wherever there's a reference to 'halt -i' or similar):

...
. /etc/conf.d/wol
...
        /sbin/poweroff -d -f -h $WOL_ARGS
...
        /sbin/reboot -d -f $WOL_ARGS
...

[Edit]
/etc/rc.d/network:

...
. /etc/conf.d/wol
...
        if [ -n $WOL_ARGS ]; then
            /sbin/ifconfig ${1} down >/dev/null 2>&1
        fi
...

Thoughts?

Thanks

Re: Support for Wake On LAN

You should submit a feature request for this on the bugtracker. Here in the forum, there is no guarantee that the right devs, or any devs, will see it.
