Thanks for the patch. I attached slightly modified the code to
better match other WOL capable drivers in tree. Because data sheet
is not available I blindly made a patch based on your code. I have
a couple of questions which I can't verify it on real hardware(I
have no more access to the hardware).
o If you established a gigabit link with link partner and shutdown
your box, does the established link automatically change to 10 or
100Mbps? You can check it on your link partner. If your link
partner still reports it established 1000Mbps link, we have to
do other necessary work in driver(i.e. manually switching to
10/100Mbps).
No, the link stays at 1000Mbps so the driver must manually switch back
to 10/100Mbps.
o When you put your box into suspend mode, can you wake up your box
with WOL magic packet?
I'm sorry but I can't test that since none of those boxes supports
suspend:
% sysctl hw.acpi.suspend_state
hw.acpi.suspend_state: NONE
o When your system boots up with/without WOL magic packet, sending
WOL magic packets from other hosts can hang your box?
No they don't. No matter if the box was started by sending the WOL magic
packet or by hand it survives all WOL packets I send to it.
o If you disabled WOL with ifconfig before system shutdown, can you
still wakeup your box with WOL magic packet?
No, I can't. WOL is disabled and the box must be started manually.
o If you reprogram your station address with ifconfig(i.e. ifconfig
nfe0 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx), can you still wakeup your box with
WOL magic packet?
Yes, with sending the WOL magic packet to the new station adress.
Sending it to the original adress doesn't work.
The patch I made didn't take into account management firmware so
if you use the patch with IMPI, IMPI wouldn't work. But I think
that's not an issue since all other parts of nfe(4) also ignores
management firmware at this moment.
I can't test that, because none of these machines has the IPMI option
installed. Sorry.
Ciao,
Yamagi
