    [PATCH] via-rhine: WOL band-aid · 182181d0
    Roger Luethi authored
    After I disabled legacy WOL (i.e. controlled by EEPROM rather than
    driver) in 2.6.9, several people reported regressions. Legacy WOL had
    worked for them, but now it didn't anymore. The Right Way (TM) to fix
    this will get the driver to set up working WOL for all hardware, but a
    simpler solution will have to do for the time being: If a user requests
    magic packet WOL, the driver re-enables legacy WOL. Yeah, I know it's
    cheating.
    
    This version applies against -mm. I suggest to put it there for testing
    and into 2.6.11 if feedback is good.
    
    Thanks to Pavel Ruzicka for testing.
