Comment 153 for bug 160413

Hello Ueimor.

Actually, I got the same idea 2 days ago,
but then I got on my mind the following question:
What happens with the WOL and Speed/Duplex
settings when You reset the chip?
How could the card process the packets,
when the peer doesn't support autonegotiation
and has a fixed speed? When the chip-reset
changes the WOL reaction from the one
tuned via the ethtool to some default,
it's not the expected behavior anymore.

Anyway, I've already tried that and it doesn't
work (computer doesn't wake up).

Therefore I think the chip-reset is unwanted,
because we need to let the card in the same state
it was before the shutdown ... because we know
for sure it's correctly set up to accept packets
and to be waken by the configured wol packets only.

At the moment I don't know if a better solution
than re-enabling the receiver exists,
but unfortunately it's the only working solution
we currently have.
I am always willing to test new patches if You have any.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Regards,
Jaromir.
