I did some structured tesing: 1. WOL does _not_ work at all when I do: (grub) boot into initrd (initrd) modprobe forcedeth (initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g * (initrd) poweroff 2. WOL does _not_ work at all when I do: (grub) boot into initrd (initrd) modprobe forcedeth (initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g * (initrd) Alt-SysRq-O 3. WOL works using the _un-reversed_ MAC when I do: (grub) boot into initrd (initrd) modprobe forcedeth (initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g * (initrd) Alt-SysRq-B * (grub) halt 4. WOL works using the _reversed_ MAC when I do: (grub) boot into initrd (initrd) modprobe forcedeth (initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g (initrd) exit * (Debian) poweroff If I do the poweroff from linux (either initrd or Debian), forcedeth seems to display some messages just before poweroff. I'll try to get hands on a Serial-USB-Converter and a NULL-modem-cable to capture it, since my laptop is legacy-free :-( BYtE Philipp Hahn PS: initrd is actually initramfs, before somebody wonders. -- / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Philipp Hahn / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ pmhahn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
