           Summary: wake on lan fails with sky2 module
           Product: ACPI
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.24-rc7
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Power-Sleep-Wake
        AssignedTo: acpi_power-sleep-wake@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: supersud501@xxxxxxxx
This post-2.6.23 regression was assigned to ACPI but is quite possibly a
net driver problem?

Latest working kernel version: 2.6.23.12
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.24-rc6 (not tested earlier kernel,
2.6.24-rc7 still failing)
Distribution: Ubuntu 8.04 (but Kernel build from Kernel.org and system modifiet
to make wake on lan work, i.e. network cards are not shutted down on poweroff)
Hardware Environment: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit
Ethernet Controller (rev 20) onboard Asus P5W DH motherboard, uses module SKY2
Software Environment:
Problem Description:

When enabling wake on lan with: 'ethtool -s eth0 wol' i get the following
status:

21:56:29 ~ # sudo ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
        Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
        Speed: 100Mb/s
        Duplex: Full
        Port: Twisted Pair
        PHYAD: 0
        Transceiver: internal
        Auto-negotiation: on
        Supports Wake-on: pg
        Wake-on: g    <---- wol enabled
        Current message level: 0x000000ff (255)
        Link detected: yes

but after shutting down the pc doesn't wake up when magic packet is sent.

the status lights of the network card are still on (so the card seems to be
online).

same system with only changed kernel to 2.6.23.12 and same procedure like
above: wake on lan works.

Steps to reproduce: enable wol on your network card using SKY2 module and it
doesn't work too?

if you need more information, just tell me, it's my first bug report.

Wake from power off works on 2.6.24-rc7 for me.
Wake from suspend doesn't because Network Manager, HAL, or some other
user space tool gets confused.

I just rechecked it with Fujitsu Lifebook, which has sky2 (88E8055).
There many variations of this chip, and it maybe chip specific problem
or ACPI/BIOS issues.  If you don't enable Wake on Lan in BIOS, the
driver can't do it for you. Also, check how you are shutting down.

Also since the device has to restart the PHY, it could be a switch
issue if you have some fancy pants switch doing intrusion detection
or something, but I doubt that.

Is it a clean or fast shutdown, most distributions mark network
devices as down on shutdown, but if the distribution does something stupid like remove the driver module, then the driver is unable to setup Wake On Lan.
The wake on lan setup is done in one place in the driver, add
a printk to see if it is ever called.



I only tried wake from shutdown (poweroff), and like i wrote, on the same system with kernel 2.6.23.12 (nothing changed but vmlinuz and initrd, with the same kernel config on 2.6.24-rc6/7 (make oldconfig, default answer to all questions)), it works. so it seems to me like a problem in the kernel.

every wake-up setting (wake up by pci-device, rtc-alarm, modem ...) in bios is also enabled, otherwise it couldn't work in 2.6.23.12 (and windows).

if you say your sky2-card works, it might be a acpi-problem not related to sky2 like i thought - when i am at home i'll try to start my pc with a timer (--> /proc/acpi/alarm) from kernel 2.6.24-rc7 to check if acpi-wakeup works and report back (if it is any help in finding the source of my problem).

and regarding "printk" i'll try to find out what you mean (my first steps into kernel debugging :) - i think you mean adding a line in the source to print out something when the function is called)
