This is inconsistent with other (non-Intel) ethernet drivers where users need to use ethtool only if they want to enable WoL. Installing ethtool and writing udev rules just to make a laptop shutdown properly is not very user-friendly. > The current policy has been here for ages.

Yes, that might be a problem. -- Ondrej Zary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list E1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel To learn more about Intel® Ethernet, visit http://communities.intel.com/community/wired
