Hi!
I'm installing a nice cluster, the machines all have a 3c905C (the new one,
with a smaller layout).
I want to use the wake on lan feature. First try (after pluging the power
to it): I'm sending this magic packet, and it really starts.
After poweroff, the network card also is off (So the machine can not be
waked). so I searched the Web, and found 'pci-config'. After a patch to the
program (the ID of the NIC, and the ID the program requires, is not the
same. pci-config reports 920010b7, it requires 905510b7 for the 3com 905B),
the card seems to go to wake-on-lan-mode (the network is down, after
poweroff the card keeps flashing.
Problem: I can't wake the machine, although it seems to be right.
Is it possible, that the command for the 3c905b and -c is different?
Shall I provide you with more information? Output of pci-config, when
setting the card to wake-on-lan-mode?
greetings and thanks,
Stephan
