Hello,

Wake On Lan doesn't work for the following on board NIC card in a HP VL400
computer :
01:04.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev
7
I'm using Ubuntu(Edgy)

I've tried already with the following :
1)
Add the following to /etc/modules
3c59x options=0x408

2)
Add the following to /etc/modules
options 3c59x enable_wol=1

but without success.

I've the same machine but with windows xp installed on it, and there it
works.
Wake on Lan is enabled in the BIOS

Some outputs

alef at FIRSTLOOK-UB:~$

I don't have the following lines
	Supports Wake-on: g
	Wake-on: g
and this is not a good sign.
Maybe the driver is not good in Ubuntu?


Does somebody have some other ideas?

With kind regards
Alef
