Hello Alfonso, or anyone else affected, Accepted network-manager into cosmic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network- manager/1.12.4-1ubuntu1.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-cosmic to verification-done-cosmic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-cosmic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Description changed: [Impact] - WoWLAN lets us wake up the system by sending wake packages over the wifi + WoWLAN lets us wake up the system by sending wake packets over the wifi connection. This is something requested by some OEM projects, for bionic server images. NM 1.12 supports configuring this feature, so this can be achieved by backporting that support to 1.10 (bionic version). These are the MPs for cosmic and bionic: https://code.launchpad.net/~alfonsosanchezbeato/network-manager/+git/network-manager/+merge/349468 https://code.launchpad.net/~alfonsosanchezbeato/network-manager/+git/network-manager/+merge/349465 [Test Case] First, the wifi card must support WoWLAN. This can be checked by running $ iw phy and searching for "WoWLAN support:" in the output. If it is supported, with the patch applied a connection configured with wowlan can be created with: $ sudo nmcli d wifi connect <ssid> password <password> $ sudo nmcli c modify <ssid> 802-11-wireless.wake-on-wlan 8 $ sudo nmcli c down <ssid> $ sudo nmcli c up <ssid> We can check with 'iw' that WoWLAN is active for the connection: $ iw phy phy0 wowlan show WoWLAN is enabled: - * wake up on magic packet + * wake up on magic packet In this case we have configured the connection to wake up the system when a 'magic' packet is received. We can then suspend the system with $ sudo systemctl suspend And we should be able to wake the system from another device with the command $ sudo etherwake -i <wifi_iface> <destination_MAC_address> [Regression Potential] Although the patch is not especially small, it is a backport of changes that have been merged upstream, with very little modifications to make it compile in 1.10. It is also a rather isolated feature that should not conflict with existing ones. The feature will be activated only if configured from the command line, so the risk of regressions should be small. Note also that the patch will be removed as soon as Ubuntu moves to NM 1.12. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu Cosmic) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-cosmic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1781597 Title: [SRU] WoWLAN settings are not supported Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager source package in Bionic: Triaged Status in network-manager source package in Cosmic: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] WoWLAN lets us wake up the system by sending wake packets over the wifi connection.
