[E1000-devel] e100 and Fedora 3 Disables WOL

[Jared J. <jar...@ps...>]

Hi,

  I have already submitted bug 1234566 in Sourceforge but got no response.
 I have a Compaq Deskpro (business desktop) which has an integrated
Intel NIC, using the e100 driver.  WOL does not work with Fedora Core 3
(I have tried various ways to shutdown the machine but none of them
worked).

  WOL does work if I pull out the power cord and plug it back in.  This is
how I can prove my network setup and Magic Packet.  To isolate the
problem to Fedora 3 and/or the e100 driver, I installed Windows XP Home.
 After shutting down WinXP, WOL works fine.  This proves something in
Fedora 3 or e100 is disabling WOL.

  I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.9.12 and WOL still did not work.  I
downloaded the source for e100-3.4.14 and WOL still did not work.  I
edited the e100 source code to comment-out all the calls to
e100_hw_reset() and WOL still did not work.

  I am not familiar enough with kernel drivers so I did not know the next
step to try.  Do you have any brute-force ideas to start with then we
can isolate the specific function call in e100 which disables WOL?

Thanks,
Jared
