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. :)
