Hey AF.
I would ask if anybody have got WakeOnLan to work with a onboard NIC.
I have now tried 4 different Motherboards with everything supportet by bios and NIC - But haven't got it to work - afterwards can I put in an PCI-netcard - an everythings works - So ????
The latest project:
I bougth an XPC Shuttle SN21G5 with WOL supportet by bios and NIC.
Each time I set the ethtool -s eth0 wol g - it shows its supporting wol, ang it will boot on this. BUT shutting it down, somehow deletes this setting, caurse next time I start the PC - the settings are d (Disable all) so not quit shure what to do with this.
The NIC is a Realtek RTL82101CL -!
Does anybody have a clue about what to do?
The next part I did was to remove -i from /etc/rc.shutdown - but that didn't have the missing effect.
I can see with ethereal that the packets are seent - and normally I' m using etherwake from AUR to wake the machines up to work!
Just getting better .... All the time

Hi peque - haven't got wol working yet, but to try and answer your question, I read on the gentoo wiki that you should make the shutdown script set the wol g option:
ethtool -s eth0 wol g
I think it automatically gets re-assigned to d on boot up, but by putting this in the shutdown script, it's set again at shutdown.
HTH.

hi, well i've done wol on a bunch of stuff, and never used ethtool. usually i have to enable it in the bios, then run etherwake $macaddr . that is all e100/1000's need at least
some older pci nics have a 2-pin cable that you have to hook up to the motherboard.
only other thing i can think of is that it shouldn't go through a NAT or router, but everything on the same subnet should be fine. ...wireshark is helpful to see if it's working.
good luck
