That sounds like a bug in Linux. > wakeonlan is not available Probably another bug in Linux, in the driver for the NIC. For both of these I would suggest trying two things: If you are running Debian stretch, try a newer version of the Linux kernel from Debian backports: https://backports.debian.org/ Booting Debian using the Linux kernel image from the original buffalo firmware. The bootloader configuration should be modified to select the correct build of Linux and the Debian rootfs will need a copy of any Linux kernel modules from the buffalo rootfs (usually in /lib/modules/*/). Due to the Linux kernel requirements of systemd and glibc, it is possible you will have to switch from systemd to sysvinit, or to an older release of Debian in order to get this to work. If the latest version of Linux from backports fails but the original Linux kernel image works, you might need to file a bug against the Debian linux-image-* package that you have installed: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting BTW, since you are using somewhat less common hardware please also consider filing a Debian installation report and filling out a wiki page about how you installed Debian: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/armel/apas04.html.en https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
