Subject: Re: Wake on LAN for USB ethernet?

The code in the driver is based on the specs from ADMTek (later, 
Infineon).  Since i never suspend my machines this feature has not been 
tested by me.

However, if the proposed patch is the right thing to do i'd be happy to 
see it applied.


cheers,
Petko
