I cannot successfully build these kernels with my toolchain (see above). > It also appears that you copied netdev and lkml on the original email, > but they appear to have been dropped from the CC earlier on in this > email discussion.

To resume what we have found up to now: when runtime PM is activated for the e1000e NIC, it does not wake up when a cable is plugged or when ethtool is run.
