(solved) Powering off after shutdown...

[Alex (ander Sendzimir)]

Okay:

With an Intel MS440GX motherboard the following line in the kernel 
configuration file worked for me (thanks to those who contributed):

	device apm0

Issuing the command 'shutdown -p now' shuts the system down and turns 
the power off.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to get Wake-on-lan to work reliably. 
I'm using the Perl module Net::Wake by Clinton Wong. When I manually 
power off the machine I can use wake-on-lan. However, when I soft power 
off, wake-on-lan doesn't appear to work. Hmm. Perhaps I need to send to 
a specific port? I've checked the BIOS several times and it appears to 
be in order. Besides it's worked several times already. I'm not sure 
what to do from here except go to bed.  :-)

Thanks everyone,

Alex
