Hi there,

This works on Ubuntu 8.10 also (using on-board LAN), some changes:
- I added ‘chmod a+x wakeonlineconfig’ to step 2
- Ubuntu 8.10 does not use the -i parameter as part of /etc/init.d/halt, replaced by new parm $network. Step 3 is not required, powering down seems to keep the current network setting (or detects that it is set and should not be reset).

Thanks for your script !
