In rhine_resume() and rhine_suspend(), the code calls netif_running() to see if the network interface is down or not. If it is down (i.e., netif_running() returning false), they will skip any housekeeping work within the function relating to the hardware. This becomes a problem when the hardware resumes from a standby since it is counting on rhine_resume() to map its MMIO and power up rest of the hardware. Not getting its MMIO remapped and rest of the hardware powered up lead to a soft reset failure and hardware disappearance. The solution is to map its MMIO and power up rest of the hardware inside rhine_open() before soft reset is to be performed. This solution was verified on ASUS P5V800-VM mainboard's integrated Rhine-II Ethernet MAC inside VIA Technologies VT8251 South Bridge.

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.
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.
