Description of problem: Network devices can have arbitrary names, and due to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming, will have different names in Fedora 15. powertop-1.13/ethernet.c: The wake-on-lan tests and the wake-on-lan disable both hardcode 'eth0'. powertop-1.13/powertop.c:static void do_proc_irq(void) ... /* deal with multi-queue NICs */ if (strncmp(name, "eth",3) == 0 && strchr(name,' ') == NULL) { c = strchr(name, '-'); if (c) *c = 0; } ... This implies this will mishandle any devices *not* named ethX, if they have multiple queues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): powertop-1.13 How reproducible: By visual inspection.
It doesn't seem to affect the powertop-2.x (1.97+).
