> Please explain in detail what you mean. Why cannot INTB be used?

The PMEB mode allows you to set up one of the wakeup events individually, such as link change event, magic packet event, unicast event, etc. And INTB mode is to enable all events.

This code does not affect the INTB even if the PMEB mode is not set. The INTB/PMEB pin is designed to notify in case of both interrupt and wol events. The default mode of this pin is INTB(page 0xd40, Reg 22, bit[5]=0), if PMEB mode is selected (page 0xd40, Reg 22, bit[5]=1), the pin becomes a fully functional PMEB pin.
