Re: Bug#690845: ethtool: incorrect WoL detection on Broadcom NX II rev < 12

Teodor MICU reported that:

On Broadcom NX II rev < 12 network interfaces it's not possible to activate
WoL using 'ethtool' (it can only be done from the MBA Configuration Menu).

However, even if "Pre-boot Wake On LAN" was enabled 'ethtool' doesn't
see this change:
	Supports Wake-on: d
	Wake-on: d

I've just tested that WoL works for this system.

He's been using Linux 2.6.32 and Linux 3.2, but there don't seem to have
been any later changes to WoL support in bnx2.

Is there any possibility that this could be fixed?

Ben.
