Is it enabled by default (i.e. when that option is not specified in the
config)?

Thanks for pointing this out. Here's my "ethtool eth0" output which is
identical on both the client and the server (which in my particular case is
the machine on which bacula-sd and bacula-dir run):

===

Settings for eth0:
        Supported ports: [ TP ]
        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
                                1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full 
        Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
        Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
                                1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full 
        Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
        Speed: 1000Mb/s
        Duplex: Full
        Port: Twisted Pair
        PHYAD: 1
        Transceiver: internal
        Auto-negotiation: on
        Supports Wake-on: g
        Wake-on: g
        Current message level: 0x000000ff (255)
        Link detected: yes

===

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the "g" in the "Wake-on" column. Any
concreate hints on how to disable these features and where (via ethtool or
in the machine's BIOS settings)?

Thanks in advance & kind regards,

    Holger
