https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=351124 Summary: r8169 driver (seemingly) unable to wake up a LAN device when switched off from Windows Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jdluhos@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Observed on an Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo V5505 laptop with Windows/openSUSE 10.3 dual-boot. The laptop has an embedded Intel LAN device. When Windows are shut down, it puts the LAN device into a kind of off state (probably for conserving power). Then, when Linux is booted afterwards, it is unable to use the LAN device; the r8169 driver says 'link not ready' or 'link down'. I have found no way to re-enable the card except booting back to Windows and enabling the 'WakeOnLan' switch of the card, which causes Windows not to switch off the card. I think we need a way how to enable the card from Linux, probably automatically, as a common user would be lost - there is no way to find out what happened, the card simply seems nonfunctional. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
