The if_rl.c driver under FreeBSD is intelligent enough to notice that the chip has been put into a funny power management state and reset it (thanks to wpaul). Look for D0 to find the relevant code fragment. You can either incorporate the code from the FBSD driver into the Linux driver or (this is what I did) forbid w9x from using power mamnagement on the interface. --- Gary Jennejohn / garyj@muc.de gj@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
