so tried the modules sk98lin, skge from the default install
Both appear to work as nic drivers, but both appear to
kill the card on shutdown - ie the orange link light goes off.
When XP shuts down, the orange link light stays on and
the machine will WOL
i can't ifup eth0, if I modprobe sky2
and modprobe -r skge/sk98lin
has anyone got wol working with sk drivers?
