[Bug 538817] [NEW] wake-on-lan doesn't work on bridged interfaces

[Bernhard Seibold]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bridge-utils

The if-post-down script of bridge-utils explicitly downs all interfaces on a bridge. As a result of this, wake-on-lan doesn't work anymore.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think it's really necessary to do "ifconfig $x down" on all bridge-slaves.

Tested on karmic with bridge-utils 1.4-5, but probably affects all
versions.

** Affects: bridge-utils (Ubuntu)
