Attached is a first try at this wol via ethtool thing. I don't think to
have got it right, but here it is.
I tried to test WoL on my laptop, obvioulsy it didn't work, but I don't
even know if I have the hardware support for it.
On this page:
http://www.sis.com/products/connectivity/900.htm
it says that the magic packet feature is optional.
I would really like to have some way to check if WoL is supported by the
hardware before thinking to include this. I didn't find any
documentation of some use for this.
Finally, I have never realized the sorry state of sis900 wrt ethtool,
I'll try to get some more support...
The attached patch is against clean 2.6.9 and is NOT for inclusion.
