What network card are you using?

[WinFanTryingDebian]

My new card was a D-Link 530T. I've remove that card and I'm now using my old Realtek card. But I need 1000 M/bit and the Realtek is 100 M/bit only.

What about the "Intel® PRO/ 1000 GT Desktop"? Can anyone confirm that WOL works with this NIC and Debian? Also, if someone uses that card, does it required a cable connection to the motherboard?

Thanks

Ok, don't give up on your D-Link card yet, I think it's possible to get it to work .

Anyway, can you describe exactly how you're doing the WOL? What kind of commands do you send to get that computer to wake under Windows?

Hey winfan,

I just did some check on your card (Google is your friend). Your card should work with the sk98lin driver under Linux, and that driver has Wake on Lan support as long as you enable APM (most modern kernel, 2.4+ has this enabled by default I think). If you're using the box D-Link driver, then WOL won't work, as noted here: http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:...ient=firefox-a.

So you just need to install sk98lin driver, make sure APM is enabled, and WOL should work.

Hope this helps,
Frank

It's to late for the D-Link card. It's already on it's way back to the dealer. The card made some other serious problems, too. I'll try it with the Intel card.

Thanks for all your help.

I hope you'll read my post, more than one year after your, fpmchu. But I'm desperate.

I bought a D-link DFE-55OTX so as to make it to boot my machine when hearing a magic packet. According to d-link technicians (I asked them), it is supposed to support wol.

OK but obviously, you are right, Debian driver (sundance module) doesn't implements wol function: ethtool fails to set it up with any wol setting, and module source file doesn't make any reference to any "wol" or "wake".

So according to you, I should use sk98lin module instead of sundance ? How can I do that ?
I tried rmmod sundance, then modprobe sk98lin and my network device does no longer works. If I remove sk98lin and I load again sundance, MII tells that it finds PHY at address 1 (just a clue), and my network stuff works again.

Sure, I miss something when loading this sk98lin driver; but how can I tell it to work with my d-link ?
