Hello, I have applied the patch from http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/16/88 manually to 2.6.7 (also works on 2.6.{8,9}) and have been using it since then. Attached is a diff against 2.6.9.2) Please use ethtool to enable/disable WOL. No need for a module option.Attached is a first try at this wol via ethtool thing. I don't think to have got it right, but here it is. I tried to test WoL on my laptop, obvioulsy it didn't work, but I don't even know if I have the hardware support for it. On this page: http://www.sis.com/products/connectivity/900.htm it says that the magic packet feature is optional. I would really like to have some way to check if WoL is supported by the hardware before thinking to include this. I didn't find any documentation of some use for this. Finally, I have never realized the sorry state of sis900 wrt ethtool, I'll try to get some more support... The attached patch is against clean 2.6.9 and is NOT for inclusion.
I just tried your patch and it works for me :) My sis900 is on-board component of the sis746 chipset. -- --------------------------------------- Malte Schröder MalteSch@gmx.de ICQ# 68121508 ---------------------------------------
