Description of problem: System with an ixgbe Adapter that supports WOL can't be switched off Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.18-272.el5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install on system with an ixgbe Adapter that supports WOL (e.g. Fujitsu D2755) 2. don't make any changes to WOL settings 3. switch off system Actual results: System wakes up Expected results: System remains off until explicitly activated Additional info: The ixgbe driver activates all possible WOL methods (pumg) by default when WOL-capable hardware is detected. This is not the expected behavior. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632598#c20 for a related discussion for RHEL6, attachment #409333 [details] for the patch that has been applied to RHEL6.1.
Created attachment 513359 [details] proposed patch for 5.7
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Martin. I posted a patch upstream[1] and included this in RHEL6 since Intel promised to include it in their driver. Unfortunately it never got added so when we pulled from upstream it was missed. I should have followed up with Intel to make sure it was added upstream. Adding Jeff to the cc-list to see if he can tell us when this will hit upstream or if there was a good reason it did not make it before. 1. http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=130218725423253&w=2
The patch that Andy posted on June 16th got accepted into the kernel on June 30. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/57366/

Oh, crap. My bad, somehow this one slipped off my radar. I have it currently in my queue for internal review and testing (Critical). I can hopefully get this patch upstream early next week. I apologize.
Tracker moved from FJ5.7Bugs to FTS5.8Bugs sonce 5.7 has shipped.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 and Red Hat does not plan to fix this issue the currently developed update. Contact your manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug.
Contrary to the bot message above, the fix for this problem is included in 5.8 snaphot 2 (2.6.18-302.el5). I suggest closing this bug.
Thanks, Martin. I was pretty sure that was the case. Thanks for verification. The RHEL bug was fixed as part of the major driver update for bug 714314. This is also upstream, so everything looks good. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 714314 ***
