Problem: * ethernet e100 works fine if cold booted from *power plug removed*, fails if rebooted from Windows. Shutting down windows and powering up
You mean to say you need to reboot the modem.
(it's not a modem, it's a small sized desktop with atom CPU) No, rebooting from Windows into Linux does break ethernet (on linux, rebooting back into windows the ethernet works just fine). I need to remove power (just shutting down is not enough!) and then boot directly into linux to make ethernet work.
Once I'm home again I can wire up the machine and provide the different entries from the working and non-working case after "modprobe e100 debug=16"
You are just doing a power down in the case of positive scenario is what you mean.
I think the most advisable thing to do is to look at vendor documentation for your modem both offline and online or google for "modem reboot required linux/windows".
The interesting things that I found are below.

It's an intel chip, (a very old one btw) and thus I don't think it is related, but I'll try playing with the Wake on LAN settings to see if they change anything. -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
