Dear kernel devs,

Thanks for the commit at

It successfully stops my adapter from dying when wake-on-lan gets
enabled.

Hi Eugene!
thanks for the "it works!" report.

However, I've noticed that it has broken asix_get_wol - the
lines

      if (opt & AX_MONITOR_LINK)
              wolinfo->wolopts |= WAKE_PHY;
      if (opt & AX_MONITOR_MAGIC)
              wolinfo->wolopts |= WAKE_MAGIC;

have been accidentally removed.

This wasn't by accident. This comment in the commit log perhaps
doesn't explain sufficiently:
|    Remove MONITOR_MODE. In this mode, Received packets are not buffered when
| the remote wakeup is enabled.

The vendor driver has them, and I've
successfully tested a kernel with these lines included. The change is
too small for me to bother sending in a properly formatted patch...

"Too small"? No such thing. :)

cheers,
