Re: About the alx WoL feature

+netdev

Hi,

Sorry to write to you directly, I'm not sure if I should CC some
public lists, please feel free to add them if that's the right way to
do.

I think it is, adding netdev.

I would like to add back the alx WoL feature which is reverted by you
5 years ago, and we have some discussions here[1] and here[2].

David Miller insists to fix the wake up issue before we can add this
feature back,

Rightfully so!

so I'm wondering if you still have the machine which can
reproduce the wake up issue or know who might have the machine and
willing to help.

I still have the machine that I initially did this development on, but
it's been purposed as my NAS so testing on it is somewhat awkward.

However, as far as I remember (why the hell are you doing this 5 years
later?!) the problem never occurred on my machine. Perhaps on Johannes
Stezenbach's machine? I don't recall, but see emails in my inbox from
him related to alx WoL.

We can try contacting Qualcomm and/or Rivet Network to sort out the issue.

Good luck with that, heh.
