alx WOL working in 6.1.x


The 5.16.5 unofficial backport from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=300398 had a few ordering/fit rejects, but no actual code changes were needed.

Tested on an old MSI Ghost Pro (MS-16h7) with Atheros Killer E2400 ethernet under 6.1.12 (kernel.org) and 64-bit 15.0 base. The GS60 is being transformed from its gaming laptop origins to a distcc server, thus the WOL is a feature. Probably better to spend US$30 on a wol capable dongle.

Given the low profile, I'll post a patch set somewhere if any one else has a need.

Cheers,

Code:
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)
	Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller

After many years this is welcome news. I believe this is the original bug report.

Anybody aware whether this patch can be back ported to 5.15.94 and 4.4.301?

Hi, on ubuntu 23.04 the kernel is 6.2.0-19 and seems, even if this patch is quit correctly compiled , that doesnt fix the problem.

I you cold spend a few minuts maybe we could sort the problem of many users that have the card.
thanks !!!
