PATCH 1/1 via-rhine.c, wol-bugfix, Kernel 2.6.11.5
Hello!
The via-rhine driver in the actual kernel release 2.6.11.5 resets wake-on-lan-settings of the chip. This leads to the fact, that wol is disabled after the first reboot. I've attached a little patch, that fixes the problem.

This patch won't apply to the 2.6.11.5 I have here -- the driver is clearing ~0xFC already. The description makes me suspect that the patch is meant to go the other way, and that would be wrong. Use ethtool if you want to enable WOL, default in Linux net drivers is off.
Please don't send patches as application/octet-stream, that's annoying. Send either text/plain or inline.

You are right. I don't know what happened, but in my sources (from kernel.org without any patches) this was cleared to 0xFE.

The problem was, that this doesn't worked.

Ok, thank you for the hint.
