When I halt -p it, my router stops passing traffic completely until I kill the power to the machine entirely. If it's just been shut down with halt -p, it recovers immediately after turning it back on, while it's in BIOS. Any thoughts on this? My guess is its because the sky2 shutdown puts the nic to sleep and when the host is off, bad things happen. regards, Kyle
