[Bug 899498] Re: Apple USB Ethernet fails when wake-on-lan is enabled (as happens by default)

 

Eugene, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Apple USB Ethernet fails when wake-on-lan is enabled (as happens by
  default)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm running Oneiric (11.10) on a MacBookAir3,1 with Apple's USB
  Ethernet Adapter (A1277).

  Problem is that when I start up the computer it doesn't work -
  unplugging and replugging fixes it. A few days ago I tracked this down
  to the /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/disable_wol script which runs:

  ethtool -s eth0 wol g   # --> networking broken

  I've tried the vendor's GPL driver from
  http://www.asix.com.tw/download.php?sub=driverdetail&PItemID=86 and it
  works - wol doesn't break it.

  I've since discovered that a couple of fixes for the asix driver have
  been merged from the vendor and are now in linux 3.2-rc4:
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=history;f=drivers/net/usb/asix.c;h=e6fed4d4cb77f70c8c6d62af16d53a57ed31c99c;hb=HEAD.
  The fix for the wol issue seems to be in this commit
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=4ad1438f025ed8d1e4e95a796ca7f0ad5a22c378.

  I think we should try to get these asix patches into the stable kernel so that this issue is fixed for other Oneiric users. I'm going to try to test that it fixes my issue by compiling 3.0.0-13.22 with the asix.c from 3.2-rc4.
