9.04 at shutdown: netwerk card off

[Pieter Donche]

In /etc/init.d/halt there is, at the start
NETDOWN=yes
and further on a section
# Make it possible to not shut down network interfaces,
# needed to use wake-on-lan
netdown="-i"
if [ "$NETDOWN" = "no" ]; then
        netdown=""
fi

I tried NETDOWN=no but still same behaviuor: NIC light goes out

What else needs to be done?
