hello everyone
I have an old Buffalo Linkstation Duo (WXL), that now I would lie to
use as a backup for my new NAS
I've bumped into RogerShimizu's presentation at https://miniconf.debian.or.jp/assets/files/Debian%20Installer%20for%20Buffalo%20Linkstation%20NAS.pdf,
in order to update a bit the system with a fresh new debian install;
I followed it and I now have a running Debian system , but:
- the only way to shutdown the unit is to put the physical
button in the off position, otherwise both poweroff and shutdown
commands lead to a reboot of the unit
- wakeonlan is not available:
- ethtool responds "Supports Wake-on: d", and trying to set it
ends in:ￜ "Cannot set new wake-on-lan settings: Operation not
supported"
a@debian:~$ sudo ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:

ￜￜ ￜWake-on: d

obviously with the original buffalo firmware, it worked!
I've tried, under Roger's suggestion, to add "marvell" to
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules, but nothing changed: it seems that
the NIC is not enable for wakeonlaￜ (even if it was, of course)
now I'm wondering if it could be a driver issue, and if is there
any other module that can be used instead of the mv643xx_eth
a@debian:~$ sudo dmesg |grep eth
[ￜￜￜ 0.022487] [Firmware Info]:
/ocp@f1000000/ethernet-controller@76000/ethernet1-port@0:

[ￜￜ 20.475943] mv643xx_eth: MV-643xx 10/100/1000 ethernet driver
version 1.4
[ￜￜ 20.593063] mv643xx_eth_port mv643xx_eth_port.0 eth0: port 0
with MAC address 00:24:a5:47:96:af
[ￜￜ 34.213593] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[ￜￜ 36.875031] mv643xx_eth_port mv643xx_eth_port.0 eth0: link up,
1000 Mb/s, full duplex, flow control disabled
[ￜￜ 36.885480] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes
ready
and now I'm stuck here... My idea to use this old unit as a
"semi-remote" (in the same LAN)backup of the new NAS doesn't work,
if I'm not able to switch it off and on when neededl
any suggestion?
thanks in advance
Rosanna
