Even further experimentation shows that ethernet functionality can survive the resume for a few minutes before reseting. Once it gets into this state even rmmod/modprobing the r8169 driver won't unwedge the driver. The symptoms are either the driver detecting an unknown MAC or setting the physical address to 0xfffffffff which is obviously broken. I suspect the hardware has gotten itself wedged somehow. Is there any way to hard reset the chipset (without power cycling the system)? -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ http://www.half-llama.co.uk -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
