[Bug 940726] Re: 3.0.0-12 always powers off NIC, prevents WOL

 

BigglesPiP, as per http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=4310887&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3DswEnvOID%253D4004%257CswLang%253D%257Caction%253DlistDriver&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken#BIOS%20-%20System%20ROM an update is available for your BIOS (2013.10.01). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  3.0.0-12 always powers off NIC, prevents WOL

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On a HP Proliant Microserver, I recently updated to 3.0.0-12 (I think
  from 3.0.0-9).

  WOL previously worked. It is still enabled in BIOS. It is still
  enabled in NIC (ethtool). I've tried messing with the NETDOWN variable
  in /etc/init.d/halt.

  I can confirm that the NIC is powered down, both the port light on the
  back of the box and the router extinguish where they previously did
  not.

  I've tried compiling 3.0.0-9 checked out from git to give it another
  go but I'm not that good at compiling and I can't work out how to do
  it when not making a change (which is what all the guides expect).

  WORKAROUND: ifconfig eth0 down; shutdown -h now
