Hi Randy, My intention to use WOL is solely to switch my pc on from S3, my NAS is located in the loft (attic) hard to get at and previously when using Freenas, it worked great.
My bios set up is as follows: ACPI suspend type S3 (suspend to Ram) -USB resume from S3 Disabled Power button function Instant off Wake up by PME# of PCI Disabled Wake up by onChip LAN Enabled Wake up by Alarm Disabled Power on Function Button Only Restore on AC Power loss Power off I am using: WOL Magic Packer Sender from: http://magicpacket.free.fr/ I have also tried: Wake on Lan from: http://www.aquilatech.com/ Both above utilities worked under FreeNAS when sending a magic packet to the mac address of the NAS. When using the FreeNAS web gui, there is an option where you can select Wake on Lan, I am not sure what this option changes in the FreeBSD OS itself mind you, maybe it configured the NIC drivers correctly to accept magic packets. My NIC is an Nvidia nge0, I have tried adding a line "S3-support enabled" under: etc/power.conf: to try and get the NAS to not fully shut down without success. PC Hardware: Abit AN8 SLI AMD64 Opteron dual core 165 2GB of ram ide 80GB hdd for the OS Matrox PCI Graphics 4 x 1.5tb samsung f2 hdd connected to the mobo LSI SAS3442E-R Controller 4x 2tb samsung f3 hdd connected to the LSI controller I understand that under linux there is ethtool where the NIC drivers can be changed to accept magic packets, I have tried to do the same under dladm but not sure exactly whether this option is available or not. You mention turning off the PHY's, how do you do that, I will try it and see if this wil make a difference. Your help is greatly appreciated, I have been trying to find a solution for a number of days now without success, I do not want to go back to FreeNAS and wish to stay with Opensolaris but without the WOL capability this is impossible for me. Please let me know if you require anymore information. Many thanks for all your help. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list networking-discuss@opensolaris.org
