Description Flavio Leitner 2008-02-11 13:59:56 UTC
Description of problem:

Wakeup-on-Lan does not work with e1000e.

- sut is an Econel 100 S2 with RHEL 4.6 ES (GA)
- ethtool eth0 -> wol: g -> which means - listen for magic packets
- it works if Windows is installed (-> HW / Bios ok)
- the article says that when linux shuts down it shuts down the ethernet
 interfaces totally - they can no longer listen for magic packets to wake up
- what I did was in /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt  just before the file systems get  
unmountet check that wol: g is still set
- change the halt instruction by removing the -i switch -> do not shut down the
network interfaces
- shutdown -h now
- verify from a different machine if you can wake up the sut, by issuing
  * ether-wake <MAC of sut> on a different RHEL 4.6 system
  * executing WOL.exe <MAC of sut> from a windows box

Result: sut did not wake up when shutting down from RHEL 4.6, however the same
machine (multi boot) does wake up when shutting down from Windows.

tested e1000 V7.6.5, builded by Martin Wilck against the kernels for RHEL4.6 and
RHEL 5.1.

RHEL5.1:
After installation I changed loaded driver from e1000e (V0.2.0) to e1000
(V7.6.5) without changing halt / network script -> WOL worked.

RHEL4.6:
I undid the changes to halt and network script, exchanged the driver like on
RHEL5.1 -> WOL worked.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Up to  -78 kernel available on http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use ethtool to enable WOL
2. shutdown 
3. send magic packet

Comment 5 Andy Gospodarek 2008-02-28 13:41:16 UTC
I see the patch now:

commit 23b66e2bc2bcebacab7292d7731b7372065b3f98
Author: Auke Kok <auke-jan.h.kok>

    e1000e: Fix logic reversal keeping link active

    A logic mishap caused the adapter to keep link while we can
    disable it due to WoL not being active, and vice versa.

My test kernels have been updated to include a patch for this bugzilla.

Hi there Andy,

Yes, I have tested kernel-2.6.18-83.el5.gtest.43.x86_64.rpm from your
people page, and I can confirm that a system that is shut down can be
woken up with ether-wake. 

Thanks!

Anders,

Could you check if with S3(Ram) and S4(Disk) the NIC is off too?

thanks!
Flavio

Comment 15 Andy Gospodarek 2008-03-07 18:46:03 UTC
I'm considering pushing this patch:

http://people.redhat.com/agospoda/rhel5/e1000e-wol-fixes.patch

for 5.2.  Does anyone object?

Comment 18 Flavio Leitner 2008-03-10 14:50:33 UTC
No objections from me, just a note that waking up from S4 still doesn't work 
and I think we should open another bz for it.

Flavio
