| Wake-on-lan is currently broken in the mainline kernel atl1 driver. It's reported to work in the vendor version of the driver, but I haven't had success with that version either. |

Please put some light upon me: what does kernel has to do with wake on lan?!
So should PC intended for wol be shutdowned in a special way or I need kernel module for that card I intend to wake (don't believe in this)?? |

| There are two versions of the atl1 driver: a vendor version provided by Attansic/Atheros, and a "kernel version" that's part of the mainline kernel. WOL is reported to work in the vendor version of the driver, but does not work in the kernel version of the driver. |

| Please, I don't understand another thing: why should kernel driver (and which one - that on halted machine or waker) support wol at all? [I think in a simple way like this: let's just send a "magic packet" to NIC and, if bios supports, it should wake] |

| It is the driver's responsibility to set up the NIC to sense magic packets, and to place the device in the proper power state for sleeping and waking. |

Ok, clear. So we must wait for new releases of driver...
Maybe you know where I can find some announcements on that? |
