Hi again,


with the r8169 I can't send a magic packet anymore. I'm using ethtool

for that, with the previous one (an rtl8139b) it was working very well.

ethtool -D apparently says it could send the packet ok.

The receiving side hasn't changed (it's an r8169 too), it's setup for

wake-on-lan and is soft-powered-off with ACPI as it should (no change in

config since a few years).


Do I have to set something special on the sending end ?


Thanks,


	Xav

Xavier Bestel <xavier.bestel@free.fr> :


I see no "-D" option in the sources from the git repository of ethtool.


Where did you find it ?

Xavier Bestel <xavier.bestel@free.fr> :


Weird.


Can you capture the traffic from the receiving (live) r8169 whith

both senders and specify the kernel version of the sender/receiver ?

Sorry for not following up: the packet arrives correctly to the

receiving host when it's running, the problem is that it doesn't wake

up. As I have changed the switch at the same time (gigabit upgrade)

maybe when the host is powered off the switch doesn't forward the magic

packet ?

I'll dig the old 10/100 hub and try again.


Thanks,

	Xav
