plans to get rid of the deps on pm-utils entirely, or at least move them
into NetworkManager for the time being. No idea when that would happen
though; but if somebody wanted to spearhead it that would be awesome.
First step would be convincing pm-utils to drop the NM suspend/resume
scripts, and then move them into NetworkManager git for both 0.7 and
master. Next up, we try to figure out how much work we really do need
to do for suspend/resume; maybe we can get uevents for them instead of
relying on pm-utils or something.
It seems to me this would be a good opportunity to handle WOL properly.
I've never been able to get WOL to work, and messing around with ethtool
shouldn't be necessary anyway. It seems to be something that just isn't
easy on Linux. If NM were to take control of suspending the network devices
then it should be easy for it to set up the conditions for WOL to work.
Another good reason to press ahead with this?
