[vortex] Linux Driver for 3C905CX-TX-M with WOL?

[Martin d'Anjou]

None of the tools I have used have been useful in getting WOL to work on 
my machine. In the end, I added the following lines to my 
/etc/modprobe.conf (on a CentOS system):

alias eth0 3c59x
options eth0 enable_wol=1

And it worked, despite ethtool telling me otherwise. Older versions of the 
driver may not support ethtool, but getting the newer driver versions that 
work with it can rank from piece of cake to nearly impossible depending on 
your distro and your skills.
