Hello, I have the same problem with KDE and knemo running. Problem will go away as soon as knemo is closed, but I want to keep it open and monitoring the network card.
It also seems to be a problem special to the "3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX [Boomerang]" card or its driver (which does not have any power-management capabilities at all) as I have the same card as in this post: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227391. But the patch there did not help me - so I prepared my own against kernel version 2.6.18. It should now check the card capabilities before any other actions or checks: --- a/drivers/pci/pci.c 2006-09-20 05:42:06.000000000 +0200 +++ b/drivers/pci/pci.c 2007-02-11 09:54:00.000000000 +0100 @@ -303,17 +303,6 @@ if (state > PCI_D3hot) state = PCI_D3hot; - /* Validate current state: - * Can enter D0 from any state, but if we can only go deeper - * to sleep if we're already in a low power state - */ - if (state != PCI_D0 && dev->current_state > state) { - printk(KERN_ERR "%s(): %s: state=%d, current state=%d\n", - __FUNCTION__, pci_name(dev), state, dev->current_state); - return -EINVAL; - } else if (dev->current_state == state) - return 0; /* we're already there */ - /* * If the device or the parent bridge can't support PCI PM, ignore * the request if we're doing anything besides putting it into D0 @@ -337,6 +326,17 @@ return -EIO; } + /* Validate current state: + * Can enter D0 from any state, but if we can only go deeper + * to sleep if we're already in a low power state + */ + if (state != PCI_D0 && dev->current_state > state) { + printk(KERN_ERR "%s(): %s: state=%d, current state=%d\n", + __FUNCTION__, pci_name(dev), state, dev->current_state); + return -EINVAL; + } else if (dev->current_state == state) + return 0; /* we're already there */ + /* check if this device supports the desired state */ if (state == PCI_D1 && !(pmc & PCI_PM_CAP_D1)) return -EIO; This did help me, and I hope it will help in similiar cases too.
