On ASUS XG-C100C with 1.5.44 firmware a special mode called "dirty wake" is active. With this mode when motherboard gets powered (but no poweron happens yet), NIC automatically enables powersave link and watches for WOL packet. This normally allows to powerup the PC after AC power failures. Not all motherboards or bios settings gives power to PCI slots, so this mode is not enabled on all the hardware. 4.16 linux driver introduced full hardware reset sequence This is required since before that we had no NIC hardware reset implemented and there were side effects of "not clean start". But this full reset is incompatible with "dirty wake" WOL feature it keeps the PHY link in a special mode forever. As a consequence, driver sees no link and no traffic. To fix this we forcibly change FW state to idle state before doing the full reset. This makes FW to restore link state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
