According to the report in bug #388244, wake-on-lan need the
interfaces to be up when the machine is taken down, while your report
the opposite.  Is this different from driver to driver?  I implemented
the NETDOWN boot option to make ifdown optional, but the default is
still to take down the interfaces.

I've tried to rebuild the package, and it did not change anything.
I'm testing this now, and see that the interfaces are still up after
halt -i is executed.  No idea why yet.
