The Problem:
WakeOnLan is always activated on my laptop. No BIOS Option for disable WOL. The problem remove battery power (if it isn't connected to power supply), when the laptop is off. The problem is be solved by disconnect the laptop from power supply before u shutdown it. But this isn't a good workaround so i searched for another solution.

Workaround:

Step 1:
download new driver from the Realtek Homepage
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2%E2%90%A3Realtek

Step 2:
unpack the file, go to the dir at a terminal and execute "sudo ./autorun"

Step 3:
write this line "blacklist r8169" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Step 4:
on a terminal execute "sudo update-initramfs -u"

reboot and all will be fine!!

the "dmesg" and "lspic-vvnn" are taken after the workaround.
