7 I'm puzzled. I know that this card supports WOL, because I've done it:
8
9 # uname -r
10 2.6.18-gentoo-r3
11 # lspci |grep 3c
12 01:0c.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado]
13 (rev 78)
14
15 However:
16
17 # ethtool -s eth0 wol g
18 Cannot get current wake-on-lan settings: Operation not supported
19 not setting wol
20
21 and further:
22
23 # ethtool eth0
24 Settings for eth0:
25 Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
26 Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
27 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
28 Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
29 Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
30 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
31 Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
32 Speed: 100Mb/s
33 Duplex: Full
34 Port: MII
35 PHYAD: 24
36 Transceiver: internal
37 Auto-negotiation: on
38 Current message level: 0x00000001 (1)
39 Link detected: yes

41 This is goofy, because it definitely used to report that at least WOL g
42 was supported, though it was a couple of kernels ago. I have tried
43 adding 'options 3c59x enable_wol=1' to modules.d/3c59x, though this was
44 not previously necessary, and still nothing.
45
46 Has something changed with this driver?

48 Cheers -d
