IBM PC300GL (Type 6272) - IBM PCI WoL adapter may not wake up system

Applicable to: AP-N, AP-S, Canada, LA, United States

SYMPTOM:
The adapter will sometimes hang in an improper state during system power off, resulting in an inability to perform WoL functions.

PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS
This is a machine specific problem with the IBM PC300GL Series 6272 systems ONLY, and the IBM PCI Wake on LAN Token-Ring Adapter.

The problem appears to be a compatibility issue with the IBM PC300GL Series 6272, and the IBM PCI Wake on LAN Token-Ring Adapter.

It appears to be related to an interaction between the smaller power supply used in the IBM PC300GL Series 6272, and the IBM PCI Wake on LAN Token-Ring Adapter. Changing to an IBM PC300GL (6282, 6284, 6267, 6277, 6287, or 6265) or IBM PC300PL(6275 or 6285), or, by changing to the IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter-2 will eliminate the failure.

FIX:
This is a machine specific problem with the IBM PC300GL Series 6272 systems ONLY, and the IBM PCI Wake on LAN Token-Ring Adapter.
