[Cbe-oss-dev] WakeOnLan Issue

[Jiafu Gao]

Thanks Geert. 

> BTW, which kernel version are you running? Perhaps it predates PS3 WoL support?
Maybe. That is the part I was asking: Geoff's document does not mention the kernel depenencies. It would be like to add that to the doc.

Here is the output of my uname -a:
  Linux ps3 2.6.22-14-cell #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 04:26:05 UTC 2008 ppc64 GNU/Linux
What is the required minimal kernel version?

Can I simply copy Geoff's kernel on my machine and use that to boot linux? I am asking this since I tried several kernel updates in the past, each using install program will change the system in a non-reversible way. I ended up reinstall linux several times. I don't want do that ever again unless I know for sure it will work.

No. I am running ethtool after Ubutnu started up. Good to know that otheros.bld does not matter.

Thanks again.
