[Bug 1247667] [NEW] alx module problem (wakeonlan)

 

Public bug reported:

I am using 13.10 (saucy) on my new laptop---a Lenovo laptop (Y510P).

It appears that the alx module that loads the network card (08:00.0
Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA8171 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10))
might have some problem.

The wakonlan functionality is important for me.  However, when I do

ethtool eth0

I do not get any encouraging information on wakeonlan.  There just isn't
any information printed out regarding wakeonlan.

However, when booted to the Windows 7 partition, it is shown that this network card does support wakeonlan, and wakeonlan does work when I put the computer to sleep and then send the magic packet to it.
