      net: forcedeth: Fix wake-on-lan regression · 34edaa88
      Tobias Diedrich authored
      Commit f55c21fd ("forcedeth: call
      restore mac addr in nv_shutdown path"), which was introduced to fix
      the regression tracked at
      http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11358 causes the
      wake-on-lan mac to be reversed in the shutdown path.  Apparently the
      forcedeth situation is rather messy in that the mac we need to
      writeback for a subsequent modprobe to work is exactly the reverse of
      what is needed for proper wake-on-lan.
      
      The following patch explains the situation in the comments and
      makes the call to nv_restore_mac_addr() conditional (only called if
      we are not really going for poweroff).

      With the following patch:
      shutdown         OK
      disk/shutdown    OK
