Linkstation LS-QL will only "awaken" when it "fell asleep" by it self!

Just wanted to put out a comment for all your loyal Buffalo customers which upgraded to the Linkstation LS-QL and expected it to act the same as previous products.

If setup in the Linkstation LS-QL (LS) Power management section "Awaken Time" and
"Sleep Time" the LS will only "awaken" when it "fell asleep" by it self. Turning the LS off by pressing the front panel button or using the Restart->Shutdown web feature will not have the LS awaken at the set time. You also have not visual indication (blinking LED) that the LS is in "sleep mode" and will wake up at the predefined time.

I personally find this a not acceptable behavior and I like Buffalo to give us back the functionality we had with previous products. I use the LS for predefined backups and like it to wake up and sleep at the set times even if I had to start and shutdown the LS for manual backups or file access.
