Hello everyone,
I have one of the ominous Realtek RTL8111B cards on my mainboard. Normal
operation is fine at 100 MBit with the r8169 driver from 2.6.26 as well as
with the r8168 driver from Realtek. However, my problem is that the
machine should listen to Wake-on-LAN packets during suspend.
Unfortunately, the driver seems to put the card into a complete power-off
when entering S3 state (no blinkenlights, even during network activity).
I've read somewhere that some Windows drivers don't do this, but I'd like
to avoid installing Windows for the sole purpose of keeping my network
card awake.
Does anybody have an idea on how to fix this?
Please CC me in replies, as I haven't subscribed this list.
Yours, Florian
