[opensuse] Network card does not Wake On Lan (3com 3c905-cx)?
I have a 3Com network card 3c905-CX-TXM-PCI. I have just upgraded from Opensuse 10.2 to Opensuse 10.3. In Opensuse 10.2, I was able to wake my computer (wake on lan) because I had set (in yast2 -> network devices -> network card) the module option "enable_wol=1" for my network card. In Opensuse 10.3 I cannot set such a network card option. When I go to yast2 -> network devices -> network card, select my network card ("3Com 3C905CX-TX/TX-M Fast Etherlink for PC Management NIC" is displayed), select "configure", select the "hardware" tab, I again see an "kernel module" box with left the module name ("3c59x") and right a text box called "options". However, the box is grayed out and I cannot fill it with the value "enable_wol=1". Any hints how I can do a wake on lan are very much appreciated. Please note I did not make any hardware modifications when upgrading from opensuse 10.2 to opensuse 10.3.
