Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to look into this. This is actually not a PowerNap bug, but rather, pm-utils (not really a bug though). pm-utils ships a disable_wol script that, as its name says, disables wake-on-lan when executing the pm-powersave (which powernap executes).

To fix this, you could either disable this script when pm-powersave executes by removing the execution bit form the script. You'll find the script at:

/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/disable_wol

Now, what should be done in PowerNap though, is to ensure WoL is enabled when performing a poweroff/suspend action. I'll retarget this bug for that.

Cheers.
