Probably true, but that wasn't the case for my (I guess
ACPI-controlled) system.

Precisely patch was supposed to "Fix this problem by ignoring the
return value of pci_set_power_state() in __e100_power_off()."

That patch is doing something rather different -- it returns 0, yes,
but it also ignores 'wake' bool as set by __e100_shutdown(). That
seems wrong to me.

Correct patch would be that (hand-made), right?

I can test, or rather -- start testing this tommorow, if this makes
sense to you.

Thanks.
