[Bug 2140491] Re: noble-update linux-tool-generic missing dependent package

So as a first-time poster I hope I am not messing up the process on correctly reporting anything I might have encountered but: could this bug affect the wakeonlan package functionality?
If I need to file this as a separate bug please remove my message.

I am running Linux Mint XFCE 22.3 on a Lenovo M720q ThinkCentre Tiny
which wakes up a NAS through the wakeonlan package in order to provide a
machine-requested backup (as in: the machine wakes the backup target, so
that the backup target does not have to follow a time-schedule only to
wake for nothing).

On Sunday the 8th I updated Mint XFCE, which installed the 6.8.0-100 kernel after which the problems started.
After updating to 6.8.0-100 I noticed my backup device stopped waking up, causing the backup to fail.

I today reverted to 6.8.0-94 and the requested functionality instantly returned.
Could this be related?
