I'm also still confused about this WOL-business. I run ubuntu on an ASUS M2NPV-VM. It seems that I can only get it back on if I use the -h flag to the shutdown command (-h letting the motherboard decide between Halt or poweroff after shutdown). WHY?? What I did: First I switched the sleep mode to S3 (that's sleep-but-hold-content-in-RAM). In order to make hibernate to work, you need at least the same swap area as RAM memory (since Linux saves the RAM contents to Swap) and I have 2GB RAM but only 1 GB SWAP. Also enable WakeOnLan in BIOS. To enable WOL I run, as you did: # sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g But to make it turn on at reboot I added a line to /etc/network/interfaces iface eth0 inet dhcp up ethtool -s eth0 wol g I also made sure that the network interface is not switched off during halt (and perhaps also reboot?), by deleting the -i option in /etc/init.d/halt (and perhaps /etc/init.d/reboot). You will notice that if the light at the ethernet port is on, even when you later have powered off the system, you have succeeded in enabling the network interface. One more thing, the wake-up time is longer then the SB3 want's to wait, so I'll have to "wake it" twice, vote for a change to configurable wait time on http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4782 -- blader_se ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blader_se's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5549 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36460 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
