There should be a message in the dmesg log about the driver version: If
it's less than 0.28: could you try a newer kernel? 0.28 is definitively
in 2.5.8-rc1-mm1 and later. I could also send you just the forcedeth.c
file, then you don't have to upgrade the whole kernel.
dmesg shows version 0.25.
Probably the phy reset and/or the media detection do not work properly.
That part is completely rewritten in 0.28.
I'm interested in two infos:
- with 2.6.7 (probably version 0.25), after booting into winXP first:
what does
# ethtool eth0
report? Then unplug the network cable. Run ethtool again. Does it report
"Link detected: No"? What if you plug the network cable back in?
ethtool eth0 shows:
Settings for eth0:
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: d
Link detected: yes
Unplugging the network cable showed the same settings:
Settings for eth0:
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: d
Link detected: yes

Please send me the latest forcedeth.c and I will give it a go. Do you
have the makefile so I can compile the module outside of the kernel?
Thanks,
