To configure the Wake on LAN feature for Red Hat
or SUSE Linux, complete the following steps:
-
Type the following command:
insmod
bcm5700.o enable_wol=1,1
The enable_wol=1,1 parameter instructs the device driver
to enable the Wake
on LAN feature for both Broadcom controllers in a single blade server.
Because there are two Broadcom controllers, you must issue a 1 for
each of them.
-
Recompile the device driver for your Linux image. For example,
a device driver that was compiled in Red Hat Linux is not guaranteed to function
for SUSE Linux. See the documentation that comes with your operating system
for information about compiling device drivers. For you to compile
the Broadcom device drivers in Red Hat Linux, a default installation is not
sufficient because all files that are required for a successful compilation
are not included. A custom installation of Red Hat Linux, in which the packages
for software and kernel development are selected, includes the
files that are required for successful compilation of the device drivers.
