This is probably related to a via-rhine issue.

Within your kernel source tree do:

vi drivers/net/via-rhine.c

Find this section and comment out the WOL line (on my version
of the source it was line 1938):

        }

        /* Hit power state D3 (sleep) */
/*      iowrite8(ioread8(ioaddr + StickyHW) | 0x03, ioaddr +
StickyHW);*/

        /* TODO: Check use of pci_enable_wake() */


Once I have a working kernel I don't upgrade it unless there
is a security fix, so for me this should be a one time deal.

Also, would you mind telling me what your memory usage is
on the front end? In particular the RES and SHR columns as
reported by top.

Hope this helps,

Alberto
