I have a Linksys WOL ethernet card and it all has some issues with WOL. My PC will wake fine if I shut it down in linux (using apm). It will also stay off after I shut it down. If I shutdown from within win98 or using the power button, it will boot it's self up within 1-2 minutes of being turned off. The only way to make it stay off is to boot linux and shut it down. I'm using 2.4.0 with apm in kernel. Same behavior in the 2.4test kernels.
It's not too bothersome since I rarely run win98, but it is strange...

------------------------------
When shutting down my computer with Linux, I cannot wake it up using wake-on-LAN, which I can do if I shut it down from WinME or the LILO prompt using the power button.
I see some "interesting" code in 3c59x.c and acpi_set_WOL, and there is the following little comment: "AKPM: This kills the 905".
So, what's up? Does it break all 905s? And will not changing the state to D3, as a comment a few lines down says, shut the card down, which seems to be a bad thing to do in a function called from vortex_probe1... I know this code is currently bypassed, but still, what is this?
