Gigabit skge doesn wakeup with magickpacket

Hi,

I am trying to wakeup a computer with the command etherwake <MAC>, but it doesn't work. The computer goes dow, maintains its ethernet card on (leds blinking), but when I send the wakeup packet, it does not wakeup. Instead, a few minutes later, it does wakeup by itself. It happens even if I do not send any magickpacket at all.

The motherboard I am using is the Aopen i855GMEm-LFS, with Gentoo intalled. See some information below:

# lspci | grep Eth
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13)
02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13)

/etc/init.d/shutdown.sh contains:
ifconfig eth0 up
/usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g
/sbin/halt -hdp

Kernel version:
# uname -r
2.6.16-suspend2-r8

The driver for the ethernet I am using is the SKGE, and the file skge.c informs that it is the version 1.5.

# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full

Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: d

I hope someone can give me an insight about this problem. Any hint will be welcome.



Thank you,

Try to compare your WOL to the link below;

Thank you for the reply. Actually, I had already read that thread.
The post 05-24-06, 05:17 PM from SlackTRAXX helped. I started there, installing the sk98lin driver, the version that came with the kernel did not support wol. Then I moved to skge. It supported, but kept not waking up and waking alone after a few minutes. After that, I downloaded the newer version from the marvell website. When I compiled the driver, I got some errors like USE_SYNC_TX_QUEUE not defined. To solve this, I used the patch in http :// linux . derkeiler . com / Mailing-Lists / Kernel / 2006-02 / msg04398 . html. With this new driver, I tried both sk98lin and skge, both supported wol, but none worked. The problem persists. The machine wakes up alone, and not with the magic packet.

Here are some update to my problem:
I solved it partially. I realized that I can wake up the machine with wol packets, but only if it was put in Suspend-to-Ram. In suspend-to-disk or shutdown, the ethernet card continues blinking, but wol doesn't work.
I disabled one of the ethernet interfaces in BIOS and this stoped with the problem of starting up the machine automatically after 4 minutes without the Wol packet. But then, I don know why, maybe I have missed some steps trying everything to solve the problem, I re-enabled the second interface and the automatic wake up disappeared.
Another thing I can't explain is that, amazingly, the power consumption in suspend-to-ram is 5W, while it is 9W in suspend to disk or normal shutdown. One observation that may help to explain is that in suspend to ram the ethernet interface leds stay lit, but not blinking, while it seems to show much more activity in the other sleep states, because it blinks a lot.
One question: Is it possible that, after disabling and re-enabling one interface, something changed, for example, IRQs assignments, and that changed everything?

Wake-on: d

I havent try to solve your problem.
At the moment try to change the wake up state to ;

Wake on g

We'll see what'll happen.

It is already working. I just have to use suspend-to-ram. Thak you for helping.
