There were three patches like this, one against sky2 and the others for e100 and skge. The sky2 one has been merged, the other two are in the Jeff's tree AFAICS. > It doesn't appear this patch was in 2.6.27, I'm not sure why not, but I > am relatively afraid that lots of devices ability to wake up got busted > in 2.6.27. Well, unfortunately the maintainers of the networking code were not very interested in these patches, although I had sent them well before 2.6.27 for the first time. Generally, the sky2 commit at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9d731d77c9794bb0a264f58d35949a1ab6dcc41c illustrates what needs to be done for other NICs supporting WOL (the key part is to call device_set_wakeup_enable() with appropriate arguments whenever WOL is enabled/disabled and using for the initialization). I'm going to do this over time for all of the drivers, but if anyone can help, please do so.
