From 2cc49a5ca14348f225beb888ad383064f2a96876 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Mann Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007 13:16:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] forcedeth: use unicast receive mode for WoL I happened to notice that a system with an NVidia NIC using the forcedeth driver won't wake-on-LAN if the interface was in promiscuous mode when you power off. By experiment, it looks like the hardware needs to have NvRegPacketFilterFlags set to NVREG_PFF_ALWAYS|NVREG_PFF_MYADDR (i.e., receive unicast packets to my address) in order for WoL to work.
