This is very odd. I booted into Windows to verify what settings it uses for this NIC relating to WOL. What I found: [x] Wake on Magic Packet [x] Wake on Pattern Match [x] Wake of Magic Packet from power off state I shutdown from Windows and again, it went down and did not wake up. I booted into Linux. I verified the exact same output from `ethtool eno1` as I posted above. I then issued a `shutdown -h now` and the box went down and stayed down. I woke it up with a `wol xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx` and then shut it down again. It stayed off this time. I repeated 10 times and found that 2 our of the 10 times, it woke back up. Can anyone explain to me what is going on with this and do you believe that it is related to the Linux kernel driver for this NIC? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.
