Any additional info needed? Is alx still being maintained, at all? Still current in 3.11.6. It has come to my attention that Wake-on-LAN has been explicitly disabled due to another bug, which would make the system wake-up twice for each magic packet. (http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg242477.html) Working around the "wake up twice" bug is preferable to not having Wake-on-LAN at all. Created attachment 156751 [details]
Enable ALX WoL for 3.17
It's just the inverse patch of the 'remove WoL' commit, adapted to 3.17.
I don't know how it's possible but I cannot reproduce the "wake up twice" bug since 3.17. So, I use the attached patch to enable the WoL in alx driver and until now, everything works fine. I can reproduce the "wake up twice" bug with my dual boot, when I shut down my computer from Windows (with WoL set up) and wake it up on Linux. But it's still better than not having WoL at all. Thanks for the patch ! Is it possible we can get this patch in 3.18 and later to get wol back in alx? I am pretty sure that removing an entire feature because it has a small bug for some people in some scenarios is not the best way to deal about it. (In reply to bugtracker.apriori from comment #1) > Any additional info needed? Is alx still being maintained, at all? On my Z87M i have an Qualcomm Atheros Killer E220x Gigabit Ethernet Controller. Why would people stop maintaining such an important driver that is on still on some relatively modern hardware.

I would also find it useful if the feature could be patched back in, even if the wake-up-twice bug is still there. Can you modify the kernel version? Would be useful if we could select this feature in menuconfig. Since 3.19.3-1 (with Archlinux) it seems that I cannot reproduce the "wake up twice" bug anymore. I'm using Frédéric COIFFIER's patch. seems like we wont have this patch mainlined. To further expand on François Courmont's finding - I'm running a bit older kernel than he - 3.19.0 (Ubuntu 15.04 current default) and also can't reproduce the "wake up twice" bug with Frédéric Coiffier's patch. WOL is working perfectly with the patched module. Cannot reproduce the bug either, running Ubuntu 15.10 (kernel: 4.2.0, NIC: Qualcomm Atheros Killer E220x [1969:e091] on ASrock Z97M OC Formula). Using the 'revert' patch and dkms to apply patch on kernel update will work for me. Hi, i have same problem with WOL. I want to apply path via dkms but i don't know how to use and configure. I have installed ubuntu 15.10/64 bits (kernel 4.2.0-27-generic, NIC: Qualcomm Atheros Killer E220x on G1.SNIPER H6). Created attachment 202981 [details]

I did everything as you wrote, but it still not works: horvathzoltan@ubul:~$ sudo ethtool -s eth1 wol ug Cannot set new wake-on-lan settings: Operation not supported not setting wol horvathzoltan@ubul:~$ ethtool eth1 Settings for eth1: ...

On 4.4.1 this patch works fine. I really think this should get into mainline. No "wake up twice" and suspend works too. I think maybe some manufacturers did something wrong in they UEFI implementation - my MSI GAMING 3 Z97 works fine. Should we start a petition or something? How to get this noticed and pushed. Something has happened today, but I do not know exactly what, but it it has started work for me today. I restarted my system many times before when I tried this, but it has not helped. But now I can confirm that it is working without any bug. horvathzoltan@ubul:~$ ethtool eth1 Settings for eth1: ...

Which patch are you referring to -- Frédéric COIFFIER or Marcel Sackermann? I am on Ubuntu Server 15.10 64 bit (gnome gui)with the 4.4.1 mainline kernel.

I used the patch uploaded here. @Jerad Penick if you are at Ubuntu 15.10 you could safely use the dkms files uploaded by me IF you were using the kernel from the ubuntu repositories (4.2.0). While the 4.4.1 kernel may work with the older alx module, i would not recommend it. If you want to use mainline from a deb repo, you should get your hands on your kernel versions source, copy and patch the alx related source and update the dkms tree with those files.

Marcel Sackermann patch didn't compile on 4.4.1 for me, I just patched the kernel source direct with the patch from Frédéric COIFFIER and it worked. Thank you Mateusz. I will give it a go and report back if WOL works with my Killer networking.

I missed your post. Thank you for the info. I need some assistance. I am not able to use Marcel Sackermann patch for the 4.2 kernel. I am going to have keep my 4.4.1 kernel because I'm on an Intel Skylake cpu and Z170 motherboard. How do I download the patch from Frédéric COIFFIER? When I click on the link for the patch, all I get is the raw data (diff). I do not have the knowledge to use that data to patch my 4.4.1 kernel. I would like help to place the data into my kernel or a link to the actual patch download. Thanks. Created attachment 203841 [details]
automatic dkms module installer for patched alx
This is a quick and dirty setup that will automatically setup the dkms module for your specific kernel version. This will only work on debian/ubuntu and other derivates and requires dkms and patch to be setup already.
The setup uses sudo and thus you are asked for your password once. It will then attempt to download your kernels source, copy and patch the alx related files and place a "alx-<kernel-version>" in your /usr/src directory, enable and compile the module and finally rebuild your initrd. Currently the the very first compilation somehow fails, thats why it's run twice.
The last lines of output should look like this:
<code>
...
DKMS: build completed.
alx.ko:

Thanks for the script. I don't think it worked. This is the output I get after running it. There's a lot more output, but this is the end of the output.

Make sure to run the setup from within the "alx-dkms-installer" directory. Otherwise it won't find neither the dkms.conf nor the patch. But before you run the setup again, remove the dkms module with "sudo dkms remove alx/4.4.1 --all". Then you're free to run it again. If it does not work, get the FULL output and save it to http://pastebin.com/ and share the link. I will give it a go again, but a quick note. When the script went out to fetch the kernel, it came back with 4.2 instead of 4.4.1. I forgot to save the entire output to show that, but after removing the said dkms and rerunning the script, I'll save the terminal output to pastebin.

Hello, I find here exactly what I'm looking for but I'm not able to make it work with a 4.2.0-34-generic kernel.

The compiled module "/usr/src/alx-4.2.0/src/alx.ko" works just fine if you use $ insmod /usr/src/alx-4.2.0/src/alx.ko Fix this by deleting the copied module "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/alx.ko" and the compiler output ("*.o", "*.ko", ".*.cmd") in "/usr/src/alx-4.2.0/src/" and run dkms build and dkms install again. This has happened to me to, but i thought i might have done something bad myself. Maybe i'll have a look again what's causing this. Created attachment 212051 [details]
20160407 [patched] automatic dkms module installer for patched alx
This is a patched version of the known auto-installer. Now with output and not restricted to kernel version 4.2.0
I updated the setup and dkms.conf because I ran into the same error today when I updated the kernel today mentioned by mmesn again.
Changelog:
20160407
-more chatty
-setup will now need to download the kernel source of you currently used kernel version from git.kernel.org. It makes a shallow copy of the current release and thus requires to download appr. 150mb
-no need to build twice, fixed
-no disagreement about module_layout mentioned by mmesn
This fix works just great, unfortunately WOL is missing after reboot or shutdown idk why. I had to everytime remove and load modules, so I've added "modprobe -r alx && modprobe alx" to rc.local and mine QCA8171 WOL works now. http://pastebin.com/mVstz2fb (with ethtool and modinfo outputs).

Does it work correctly on 4.4.0? Yes it does. If you want i'd mail you my version of the dkms-module. But i'd suggest you unpack the auto-installer and try to run the setup.

I need some help. First off I'm brand new to Linux. I installed it as the base OS for a media server. I want to use the WOL feature so the machine doesn't stay fully powered when not in use. Unfortunately the obvious issue lead me here. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, it feels like I am, but I think I need a complete step by step to get this fix working. I'm using the updated installer from Marcel and it seems to be working but the WOL feature still shows up as not supported. In fact, when I check it using ethtool it's not even listed for my NIC. So I download the installer package, the .gz, and I extract everything in a new folder. I run setup. I've now done that through both the command line and the GUI I'm using, Mate to be exact. (when I ran it a second time I did the alx remove process, or at least I did what I could, there's some files I couldn't find) Both times it downloaded stuff and even the example above of what the last few lines should look like all looked similar. But I run the ethtool for WOL and it still says not supported. And like I said it doesn't show up when I check it using ethtool. Oh, and before it's asked, I've made sure all BIOS is set up for WOL. I even have the deep sleep feature enabled, for S4-S5 if that makes any difference. Again, any help is appreciated. I'm very disappointed the WOL has been disabled. I'm a little proud of myself for getting everything else with the server set up but this is the last hurdle and it seems to be bigger than I can figure out. Sorry for the double comment but I'm not sure how to edit on here. I forgot to add I'm using Ubuntu 16.04. And I think I have kernel 4.4.0. (In reply to Dave from comment #54) > Sorry for the double comment but I'm not sure how to edit on here. > > I forgot to add I'm using Ubuntu 16.04. And I think I have kernel 4.4.0. Hello Dave! a checklist for starters ;) 1. run 'modinfo -n alx' on your machine - if it's like '/lib/modules/4.4.0-XX-generic/updates/dkms/alx.ko' the patched driver is loaded (if ethtool still doesn't show wol-capabilities something stranger is going on) - if it's like '/lib/modules/4.4.0-XX-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/alx.ko' the patched driver is currently NOT loaded, proceed to 2. 2. run 'ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/alx.ko' - if file does not exist proceed to 4. - if file exists proceed to 3. 3. run 'sudo rmmod alx && sudo insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/alx.ko' - if it succeded it's probably your initrd that's loading the default driver. run 'sudo update-initramfs -u' to update your initrds, reboot and go back to 1. - if it's unsuccessful you need to rerun the build-process: - run 'sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/alx/4.4/$(uname -r)' to clean up - run 'sudo rm /var/lib/dkms/alx/kernel-$(uname -r)-$(uname -m)' to clean up - run 'sudo rm /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/alx.ko' to clean up - run 'sudo dkms autoinstall build alx/4.4' to build and install kernel module - run 'sudo update-initramfs -u' to rebuild initrd, reboot and go back to 1. 4. run 'dkms status alx' - if shows something similar to: 'alx, 4.4, 4.4.0-28-generic, x86_64: installed' proceed with rebuild step of 3. - if it shows 'alx, 4.4: added' install process did not run yet - run 'sudo dkms autoinstall build alx/4.4' - run 'sudo update-initramfs -u' to rebuild initrd, reboot and go back to 1. - if it does not show anything the dkms module was not properly installed, rerun the autinstaller and go back to 1. Hope this helps! Cheers, Marcel Sackermann You're a genius mate, that did the trick! Seems it was loading the default driver so your walk through got it going. Thank you so much! Now I just need to get Emby and Kodi to play nice. :D Glad I could help. Good luck with your setup! (In reply to Dave from comment #56) > You're a genius mate, that did the trick!

Thank you so much! > > Now I just need to get Emby and Kodi to play nice. :D Frédéric COIFFIER's patch fixed WoL for my Qualcomm Atheros AR816x/AR817x Ethernet card. Applied cleanly on Linux kernel 4.4.11. I have not noticed any bad side-effects. The patch works on Ubuntu 16.04.1, kernel 4.4.0, but it didn't work on Ubuntu 16.10 with kernel 4.8.0. WOL works with full shutdown and hibernate, but not with suspend :( Motherboard AsRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4, Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller Thank you very much for your work Frédéric COIFFIER and Marcel Sackermann. Wake-On-Lan now works on my system. Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, kernel 4.4.0-53-generic, Qualcomm Atheros QCA8171 network interface controller. Just ran setup file from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=212051 and then followed https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61651#c55 The patch does not work with kernel 4.9.

Enable ALX WoL for/since 4.9
Thank you Marcel, i was getting a bit excited when the patch broke that they finally did some work on ALX and fixed WOL but i guess not. Hi Marcel, I am with Jessie still at 3.10.72, the last uncastrated version of alx. In order to update to the actual Jessie-Kernel, I would need your patch for 3.16.0 Is there any possibility to automate the patchin process so when a newer kernel is installed, you just have to run an update script or does one always need a kernel-specific version of your patch? Thanks+Regards Thomas The nicest solution would be if this were un-castrated upstream. @tomrey That's what dkms is for. It'll get invoked upon kernel installation and build the patched module. Try the installer https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=202981 and read the checklist of https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61651#c55 The same patch should work up until Kernel version 4.9 - for 4.9+ there is an updated patch attached to this report. I'm awfully sorry, the auto-installer is this one of course... https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=212051 @Marcel: Thanks a lot, I'll try with the 4.2 sources next time I am near the server (Austria) as I'm not able to change the grub2 order through vnc. DKMS is already installed and working for some DVB2 drivers. @Marcel: Hi Marcel, I've tried your autoinstaller but ran into a problem: Apparently the 1. line of setup doesn't make the desired replacement: running setup gives: ... git (1:2.1.4-2.1+deb8u2) wird eingerichtet ...

20170228 [patched] automatic dkms module installer for patched alx
fixed kernel-version detection and included detection for 4.9+ patch
(In reply to Marcel Sackermann from comment #73) > Created attachment 254985 [details] > 20170228 [patched] automatic dkms module installer for patched alx > > fixed kernel-version detection and included detection for 4.9+ patch I updated the autoinstaller. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=254985 It'll now correctly detect your kernel version. Please try this one in future (for now your static variable shoud work). Basically you're right. ethtool should show a line like "Supports Wake-on: [...]". If not, it probably won't work. What's `modinfo -n alx` telling you? Thanks root@terra:~# modinfo -n alx /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/updates/dkms/alx.ko (In reply to tomrey from comment #75) > Thanks > root@terra:~# modinfo -n alx > /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/updates/dkms/alx.ko That looks fine. Did you reboot the machine or reload the module after installing the patched module? To ensure your initrd contains the new module aswell, please paste the output of: `gunzip -c <your-current-initrd> | cpio -t | grep -i alx` (if you're using Debian: `gunzip -c /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | cpio -t | grep -i alx` should work) root@terra:~# gunzip -c /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | cpio -t | grep -i alx lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/updates/dkms/alx.ko 156959 blocks And in addition here all alx.ko in my system: /lib/modules/3.10.72/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/alx.ko /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/alx.ko /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/updates/dkms/alx.ko /var/lib/dkms/alx/3.16/3.16.0-4-amd64/x86_64/module/alx.ko /var/lib/dkms/alx/3.16/build/src/alx.ko the first one has a size of 972,2kb, the second has 55,9kb and all the others have 59,9kb. Yes I am on Debian Jessie Regards sorry, and yes, I rebooted after installing... That looks all fine. In this case you may be "out of luck" could you show us the details of your chip? For instance the alx-related part of `lspci -v`?

Anyhow, thanks a lot again for your precious time taken and support given for my challenge! Hello. I wanted only to say that thanks to this thread I got my Qualcomm Atheros QCA8171 chip to receive WOL. Now it is working as a charm. I also want to contribute to this thread by pointing out that in my case (Ubuntu 16.04 and kernel 4.4.0-64) the new "20170228 [patched] automatic dkms module installer for patched alx" is not patching correctly the module and I had to use the older version posted in comment #40 (attachment 212051 [details]) that is working as a charm. I am sorry that I didn't saved the error output of the patch command of the new automatic installer. Anyways it was trying to patch the wrong files (the ones of gentoo kernel 3.17). Maybe the part of the script that lool for the kernel version was not working in my case. Thanks again for everything. Created attachment 255097 [details]

Seems like I got that one wrong for kernels < 4.9 Seems like a recent update from 4.4.0-64 to 4.4.0-66 broke WOL for me. Tried to recreate the installation process using the latest auto-installer https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=255097 but it doesn't seem to work properly. I'm able to see and set Wake-on: $ ethtool eth0 Supports Wake-on: pg Wake-on: pg And the module is loaded: $ modinfo -n alx /lib/modules/4.4.0-66-generic/updates/dkms/alx.ko $ dkms status alx alx, 4.4, 4.4.0-64-generic, x86_64: installed alx, 4.4, 4.4.0-66-generic, x86_64: installed Following a reboot, suspend, or poweroff, ethtool shows: Wake-on: d WOL doesn't work at any point. Could a complete clean and rebuild solve this issue? Anything to clean other than these? $ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/alx/4.4/$(uname -r) $ sudo rm /var/lib/dkms/alx/kernel-$(uname -r)-$(uname -m) $ sudo rm /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/alx.ko Thank you.

could you try running `ethtool -s eth0 wol g`? Because "Wake-on: d" definetly means that WOL is disabled.
Thanks for your reply Marcel. After running `ethtool -s eth0 wol g` I get "Wake-on: g", but after reboot it reverts back to "Wake-on: d". Tested WOL to make sure and indeed does not work. Just to update on the issue I was having where Wake-on was reverting to "d" after suspend... I've been tackling this issue for the past week, trying pretty much every possible suggestion I could find online. I actually started off by removing 2 packages I had recently installed `sudo apt-get sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove lm-sensors fancontrol` But after that didn't make a difference, I continued with: - Removing and rebuilding the module - Different BIOS settings - Scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ for calling `ethtool ... wol g` on suspend/resume, scripts in /etc/rc.local, - Managing NetworkManager via terminal using `nmcli c modify "wired1" 802-3-ethernet.wake-on-lan magic` - Disabling NetworkManager and managing the interfaces manually with various different settings - Setting `NETDOWN=no` in /etc/init.d/halt It was only today when I came back to this thread searching for solutions in previous comments, that I took into account the date this issue initially appeared. So I looked back at the packages I had installed on that day `less /var/log/apt/history.log`... and behold: tlp. `sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove tlp` and the problem went away. Something with tlp's power management must have broken WOL - I didn't really need it anyway, only used it once to test something out. Hopefully this helps someone out there. :) For those who need TLP and also WOL, I stumbled on this just minutes after finding the remove-tlp solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/764158/how-to-enable-wake-on-lan-wol-in-ubuntu-16-04 Set WOL_DISABLE=N in /etc/default/tlp to avoid getting WOL disabled by TLP power management. Still can't believe I only noticed this just now. 5th result on Google. :| @Marcel Hello, I'm running Arch Linux with kernel 4.10.6. I ran your autoinstall and I'm going through your checklist.

I'm running arch 4.11.4, and I had your problem too. The problem for me was that the compressed alx.ko.gz (the unpatched version) was being loaded in preference to the alx.ko (produced by the patched version). You could experiment with `rmmod alx` and `insmod alx.ko' to test before reboot. If you run ethtool on your device, you should now see the wol options. I'm not sure of the best practice, but to make it persistant, I just removed the old alx.ko.gz from the directory and replaced it with a gzipped version of the patched alx.ko and did a `mkinitcpio --allpresets`. Working fine now. Hello there!
I was using attached alx-dmks-installer script and it worked in 4.9.0-3-amd64 whoever in 4.11.0-1-amd64 it stopped.
For some reason DMKS didnt rebuild driver so i had to re-download script and re-compile it.
Module is re-build and installed:

Did not work for me either, but it's not dkms fault. The patch does not result in WOL availability when applied directly to kernel 4.11.0 (mainline) either. Did you try using a new version?

Oh, no. I am using stock version on Debian Testing. I'll try later.
Did you manage to make it work?

I'm still using 4.9.x which works. Just tested the 4.11.0 once to verify WOL-availability. Still works for me with latest patch on Arch Linux. Current kernel version is 4.12.3-1-ARCH but it also worked with older 4.11.x versions. I'm trying to make it work on E2500 with the 4.10.x version on Ubuntu. I have already run the installer ok.

Marcel's patch has been working well for me (as a dkms module) until I recently upgraded to kernel 4.12.3 (running Arch). The dkms autoinstall fails; here is the make log.

Any help would be appreciated here. I'm assuming it's not as simple as just changing "msix" to "msi". :)
You need to update the kernel sources to 4.12.3 (make sure to reboot so you're on the latest kernel). This is my manual process if the auto-build does not work: sudo su - kv=$(uname -r | egrep -o '[0-9]\.[0-9]+(\.[1-9]+)?') linux_dir="linux-$kv" alx_driver_path="drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx" dkms_dir="/usr/src/alx-$kv" git clone --depth 1 -b "v$kv" git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $linux_dir mkdir -p $dkms_dir/src cp $linux_dir/$alx_driver_path/* $dkms_dir/src patch -d $dkms_dir/src -V never -r - -t -s -N -p5 < alx-dkms-installer/000-enable-alx-wol-4.9.patch # replace PACKAGE_VERSION value with $kv vi alx-dkms-installer/dkms.conf cp alx-dkms-installer/dkms.conf $dkms_dir/ dkms add alx/$kv dkms build alx/$kv dkms install alx/$kv I've done some tests and it doesn't mater if i use experimental or latest kernel, WOL is still not working

First of all, Marcel, thank you a lot for this fix! It really helps me a lot :) So I'd like to note that the issue above also happens for me and the above answer helps solve this. Thanks to everyone for the help, especially Marcel, Marcin, and pietia12. I was able to get this working on Ubuntu 17.10 and Fedora 27 using kernel 4.13.12. I had some trouble figuring out the steps, so I'm listing them below to help anyone who comes across this page. I'm new to this level of editing Linux, so there may be a better way to do some of this. **INSTALL PATCH** Save `alx-dmks-installer.tar.gz` in `/usr/src/`. ``` $ cd /usr/src/ $ sudo tar -xf alx-dmks-installer.tar.gz $ cd alx-dmks-installer/ $ sudo ./setup ``` Accept any packages it asks you to install. The setup should end with lines that look like this: ``` DKMS: build completed. alx.ko: Running module version sanity check. - Original module - Installation - Installing to /lib/modules/4.2.0-27-generic/updates/dkms/ depmod.... DKMS: install completed. ``` If you need to remove patch and try again, run this: ``` $ dkms status # check current status $ sudo dkms remove -m alx/4.13.12 --all $ cd /usr/src/ $ sudo rm -rf alx-4.13.12/ alx-dmks-installer alx-4.13.12/ $ dkms status # check new status ``` **RELOAD MODULE** As Marcin and pietia pointed out, running the setup isn't enough. You must reload the module as well. ``` $ modprobe -r alx $ modprboe alx ``` **ENABLE WOL** WOL might work at this point. If not, it might need to be enabled. Find name of ethernet connection. Run `ifconfig`. The name will be something like `enp5s0` or `eth0` and listed as the first word of a line. Check status of connection. Use your connection's name instead of `enp5s0`. `$ sudo ethtool enp5s0` There should be a category titled "Wake-on". If there isn't, the patch is not working. If "Wake-on" is a category but there is no "g" in the "Wake-on" category, run this: `$ sudo ethtool -s enp5s0 wol g` Finally, run this again to check for the "g". `$ sudo ethtool enp5s0` **STARTUP** You will have to run `modprobe -r alx && modprobe alx` to reload the module each time you reboot. Schedule these commands to run during startup. I did this on Fedora by creating a systemd service. 1.Create script to reload module. `$ sudo vim /etc/fix_alx_wol.sh` Create the following file: ``` #!/bin/sh modprobe -r alx modprobe alx ``` 2.Make script executable. `$ sudo chmod +x /etc/fix_alx_wol.sh` 3.Create service to run script on startup. `$ sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/fix-alx-wol.service` Create the following file: ``` [Unit] Description=Reloads alx module to enable wake-on-LAN. After=multi-user.target [Service] ExecStart=/etc/fix_alx_wol.sh [Install] WantedBy=default.target ``` 4.Enable and start service. ``` $ sudo systemctl enable fix-alx-wol.service # service to launch script will run on startup $ sudo systemctl start fix-alx-wol.service # start service to launch script now ``` Hi, I would like to install this patch but I got this error msg: [root@BackupServer alx-dmks-installer]# ./setup Checking dependencies...

However, centos 7.4 might have removed WOL on their own (did not check). You could try using the 3.10 vanilla alx module: just comment or remove line 66 in the setup script where it says "sudo patch [...]". Then you'll get a vanilla alx driver as a dkms module.

Hi Marcel, thx for your reply. No, I don't use dkms and will not fiddle with it. It's the stock ubuntu kernel module which does not work with the onboard nic on a Gigabyte G1.Sniper M5 mainboard. The sad thing is my former board with a sky2 module did not work either. Fwiw I plugged a broadcom card in (tg3 module), this works with magic packet. It seems server grade hardware gets much more attention than sky2 and alx module nics. :( Hi Marcel, Are you planing to upstream your wol patch? Since there are so many successful stories, I think it would be fine to upstream it with an enable or disable wol parameter. (In reply to AceLan Kao from comment #117) > Hi Marcel, > > Are you planing to upstream your wol patch? > Since there are so many successful stories, I think it would be fine to > upstream it with an enable or disable wol parameter. Please don't misunderstand, it's not MY patch. I didn't do anything. All that magic is just reapplying the patch that removed WOL in the first place. > Working around the "wake up twice" bug is preferable to not having > Wake-on-LAN at all. This a perfectly valid reason to disable WOL, even if just a small subset of devices may be affected. I do not own an affected NIC and am unable to verify whether the issue persists. I'm not sure about the module parameter, since it's not an experimental feature nor should it be globally enabled or disabled. It may be unlikely, but imagine a machine with two NICs driven by the alx-module. One is affected of the root cause and the other isn't. Although you could whitelist pci-ids of known-to-work NICs (or inversely blacklist), I'm not a kernel dev either an would need to check whether this complies with the guidelines (I could think of some reasons why both choices wouldn't be as nice as it sounds). I will do some research and feed back the outcome to this issue. Used the provided DKMS patch and it is not working for me on Arch Linux 4.15.7.

Ethtool is still unable to access WOL settings.

I had to disable UEFI secure boot for it to work though. It would be great if this patch could be (re-)applied to the mainline kernel so that I didn't need to disable secure boot and apply such a patch. Thanks. I agree, so far i didn't see any report that shows this patch having negative impact on system so far. Just want to add an easier option for Arch users: use the following package on AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/alx-wol-dkms/) - works for me on kernel version 4.15.11-1. Also, I couldn't build the package myself using the automatic installer, getting the same error as in comment #31 (got the same error message) I am using this patch for a long time. I was experiencing the "wake up twice" bug, but with recent kernel version, I don't have this issue anymore. I can't tell which version actually fix the bug (I don't remember..). Guillaume， great to hear that. I'm working on reverting back the alx wol feature to upstream, could you describe more about your hardware(NIC name and ID) and on which kernel version you found the issue is gone? I also need to grant the permission from you to put your name in tested-by: field, is it okay? Thanks. We have that patch in distro kernel for Frugalware since 4.8.1 and I never had the "wake up twice" bug.

Thanks for all your kindness reports, but the maintainer would like to see if the wake up issue would no longer be reproducible by the new kernel. I can't reproduce the wake up issue at my side, either, but this can't convince the maintainer. He would like to fix the wake up issue before we can revert back the wol feature. So, we need some reports from the witnesses who had encountered the issue and no longer suffers from it now. Then we can convince the maintain that this issue is gone and can revert back the wol feature. Guillaume, Do you have a chance to give me those info about your machine? The maintainer would like to see the issue has been fixed by newer kernel, so please provide the NIC PCI ID you have, and on which kernel(doesn't necessary to a specific version) you found the issue is gone.

I updated the previous script adding an or to the sh for supporting kernel 5 version. I got working wol with 5.2.11 acs patch and the script that i have uploaded
Thanks pillo787! Works for me too. I had to delete all of `/var/lib/dkms/alx/` first, otherwise running `dkms status` or the above patch would return: ``` Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file. File: /var/lib/dkms/alx/4.13.12/source/dkms.conf does not exist. ``` Once I deleted `/var/lib/dkms/alx/`, running `dkms status` worked as expected and the patch installed correctly. WOL works again! pillo787's patch in Comment #142 worked for me using kernel 5.0.0-29-generic. One note I found that I had a script /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/50unload_alx that unloads the alx driver when going to sleep. After removing it, the magic broadcast packets worked fine. Unfortunately I had a problem with an X driver in searching for the latest driver got DRM tip kernel 5.4.0-994-lowlatency. No match yet with the existing git repo. Does anyone have a patch that could apply to the master branch tip (RC of linux-5.4.0)? Thanks. I applied pillo787's patch and dkms said its working on kernel 5.3.10, but when I want to enable wol with ethtool, there is still not the entry "supports wol" and when trying to activate it, there is still the error, that its not supported.

I get the following > output: "1 out of 6 hunks FAILED" I believe this is due to the commit "alx: use fine-grained locking instead of RTNL", which adds mutex locking in favor of using the RTNL. Here's the patch I'm using currently on 5.14. aside from a RTNL assert warning on wake, it works. I didn't see this mentioned, so I wanted to point out that the Ubuntu kernel has the WoL feature enabled behind a module parameter (off by default). You can run the following to see the value: cat /sys/module/alx/parameters/enable_wol 'N' = off, 'Y' = on To turn it on, you just need to add: options alx enable_wol=Y to modeprobe. For example, by running: sudo bash -c 'echo options alx enable_wol=Y > /etc/modprobe.d/alx.conf' You can then test this by running: sudo bash -c 'modprobe -r alx && modprobe alx' && \ cat /sys/module/alx/parameters/enable_wol Finally, to ensure the modprobe config change is present during startup, update your initramfs with: sudo update-initramfs -u Created attachment 299707 [details] RHEL/CentOS 8 (Kernel 4.18) Fix I created a RHEL/CentOS 8 specific script to fix this problem.

However, I cannot get the computer to power on. I have tested the same computer on Windows and wake-on-lan works, so I can rule out faulty hardware.

Is there anything else I could try? $ lspci 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA8171 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 13) $ modinfo -n alx /lib/modules/5.10.0-15-amd64/updates/dkms/alx.ko $ sudo ethtool enp1s0f0 Settings for enp1s0f0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: on Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: pg Wake-on: pg Current message level: 0x000060e4 (24804) link ifup rx_err tx_err hw wol Link detected: yes Hi everyone

I have same concern before i try script in https://github.com/AMV007/alx_dkms_installer.git, but serveal person in this post solved this problem by this reposity。so i do this and make it。In order to help someone like this, i make a request（https://github.com/AMV007/alx_dkms_installer/pull/5） to merge。 (In reply to PeterV from comment #163) > Created attachment 300778 [details] > WOL Patch for 5.13.19-6-pve > > Due the running of Proxmox Ve i did some changes, as none of the patches was > working for me, also its proxmox-headers needed to be installed then its > working as expected. I install proxmox-headers, and use the 5.16 patch, its works but when my proxmox is shutdown it doesn't wake . When i try to send magic packet i see them on my proxmox with tcpdump. My proxmox kernel version is 5.15.74-1-pve. is there a patch for this ? git repo: https://github.com/AMV007/alx_dkms_installer.git worked for me in bullseye with 5.10.0-21 did not work for bookworm with 5.19.0-1 or 6.10-2 howto apply a patch without the ./setup? is there a solution for bookworm yet? Thnx for your precious work! New ubuntu kernel 6.2 and no wol yet https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/alx-wol-working-in-6-1-x-4175722247/ https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/alx-wol-working-in-6-1-x-4175722247/ after doing some google search i have found these patches, maybe someone can help out to get the drives compiled and working ? Hi to all! I recently upgraded my pc to linux mint 21.1 (ubuntu 22.04) with kernel 5.15.0.75 and I realized that wol functionality is not working. I have a Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller with Qualcomm Atheros AR816x/AR817x chipset. I need the wol functionality asap! It's very important to my work! I don't understand why they dropped support in the new kernels. It doesn't make sense even if there were some bugs (as I read - I never had any issue). Not having the functionality at all is much worse than having a waking event twice for example... I really am frustrated. What can we do? Where should we report the issue to have this functionality back in core? What can I do to enable this functionality to my kernel? I saw some patches but I have no clue to do with them. Also, if I apply the patches what will happen every time a new kernel comes out and the system makes an autoupdate? Just to add some extra info, before upgrading it was correctly working with linux mint 20.3 (ubuntu 20.04). I don't understand why this thread dates back to 2013 if it was working in 20.04. I downloaded a tar.gz file with a script and some patches. I have no clue how can i modify it in order to apply the patches found here https://github.com/AMV007/alx_dkms_installer Any help will be much appreciated! So I ran the setup script and I got this: Checking dependencies... Done Downloading kernel source for 5.15.0 by git... Cloning into 'linux-5.15.0'... warning: Could not find remote branch v5.15.0 to clone. fatal: Remote branch v5.15.0 not found in upstream origin git failed to download the source. Check the output for information. What can I do now?? As this bug here is opened since 2013, I decided to open a new one as I see that many people still have the same problem with me. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217629 https://github.com/AndiWeiss/alx-wol Check this .. there is even an update to kernel 6.4 and the patch works fine Hi, I have linux mint 21 (ubuntu 22.04) with kernel 5.15 and is not working. Before upgrade I had linux mint 20.3 (ubuntu 20.04) but I don't remember the kernel. I would like to fix my system with the existing kernel versions that are long term supported. @renato your suggestion can be applied to kernel 5.x? I see in the link, that he tested it with 5.19 but I don't know how to use the patch? Should I select from my kernels the 5.19 and then use the patch? What if I want to have a long term supported kernel? You could try kernel 6.4 from mainline.. that one will work @renato but I'm afraid kernel 6.4 in ubuntu 22.04 will have other issues as it is not officially supported by ubuntu. @cptX solution 1 https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2023/06/install-linux-kernel-6-4-ubuntu/ https://github.com/AndiWeiss/alx-wol/files/11910657/alx-wol-master.6.4.zip cd into alx-wol execute as root ./install_alx-wol.sh i dont see any other way (at the moment) to fix this.. i have 6.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------- solution 2 You could try cloning that https://github.com/AndiWeiss/alx-wol or download zip file and test it on your kernel as i see that 5.19 seems to be supported but not tested. ifneq "$(filter 5.1%,$(kernelver))" "" obj-m += alx_5.19/ endif -------------------------------------------------------------------- i know it's not official solutions, but if you solve a problem who cares about official at this point the most important is make it work properly! https://github.com/AndiWeiss/alx-wol up to kernel 6.7 works ! (In reply to renato from comment #183) > https://github.com/AndiWeiss/alx-wol > > up to kernel 6.7 works ! confirm it works on ubuntu 22.04 6.5.0-15-generic You must use the generic branch because the master branch is still the old version. The new version works for 23.10 and later and fixes the initramfs problem. I believe that the generic will be pushed up as soon he reads the mail that bug is solved ! Works on 24.04 6.8.0 kernel |
