Subject: wake on lan with skge?

Back in Jan 2005, Stephen Hemminger added wake-on-lan support to the
skge driver -- cf. http://lwn.net/Articles/120679/

I'm unable to make it wake up from a powered-down state -- is this
expected to work? I have it working fine on an e1000 nic,
using the wakeonlan package --

    $ wakeonlan -i 192.168.1.255 01:02:03:04:05:06

The motherboard is a Gigabyte K8NSC-939. I don't see an option to turn
it on or off in the BIOS.

The specs show a Marvell 8001 Gigabit Ethernet controller --  lspci:

02:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001
Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13)

The detailed specs at
http://www.marvell.com/products/pcconn/yukon/Yukon_88E8001_10_073103_final.pdf
states it supports WOL.
