You may try the following patch instead if it's easier for you. It'll likely break suspend stuff,
but you won't need to play around with modules.

I wouldn't do that like this, since e1000_suspend already does a pci_set_power_state() right before it exits, and doing two of those closely after another might result in an undetermined state.

I would be more interested in forcing D3 state instead of the current `pci_set_power_state(pdev, pci_choose_state(pdev, state));` in e1000_suspend, so can you try this instead?

alternatively, you can try PCI_D3cold or PCI_D0, but setting the device to D0 is a no-op: the device is already in D0 at run-time, so that's silly.

In any case: this is not a driver bug, but really (unfortunately) a platform issue, so this fix is not suitable for general cases *at all*, and we'd have to validate this nasty workaround on all other chipsets that e1000 supports too, something that ain't going to happen I'm sure.

constructive: I've just spend some time working with e100+suspend+shutdown+netconsole, so I'll audit e1000 for that in the next few weeks and make sure that all works properly. Perhaps that yields something for you.

Cheers,

Auke
