Wake on Lan will not shutdown

Hello everyone,

I hope I'm posting in the right forum as I think I am simply over looking something.
I have a dual boot system (win 7 and arch) and am trying to get Wake on Lan to work. I have installed ethtool and wol to find my card defaults to receive magic packets (g). I'm using an Asus Rampage IV Extreme mobo with the latest bios. Everything performs as it should with windows when shutting down or hibernating. My issue is when I suspend or shutdown arch it powers down completely and then reboots in a matter of seconds. If I force the card to wol unicast I can suspend the system (sometimes) but will still not shutdown without rebooting. I have used netctl to force the card to wol disabled and I can suspend it everytime. However, even setting wol to disabled, the computer will not shut down. I have disconnected the ethernet cord and even disabled the NIC in the bios but still the same results. If I shut down arch and pull the power when it initially shuts down it simply reboots as soon as power is connected again. The only way I have found to shut it down is to disable "wake on pcie" in the bios. This in turn also disables the windows Wake on Lan. If anybody has an idea of what a solution might be I am all ears (even if it calls for some trolling, I'm sure this deserves some :-)

Thanks in advance

Re: Wake on Lan will not shutdown

Still trying to troubleshoot this issue. Finding when I run:

# echo disabled > /sys/class/net/eno1/device/power/wakeup

it disables only until the next reboot. Something is going on that changes it back to enabled.

What am I missing here?

Recently, I have been testing several systems (Z77 and H97-based) after I disabled all references to 'xHCI' as it pertains to USB settings.  I also enabled wake on keyboard per one suggestion in one of the links above.  In about 15 power cycles, I haven't observed an unintentional wake-up with 'wake on PCIe' enabled in the BIOS.  More time is needed before I will claim either setting is the fix.

Re: Wake on Lan will not shutdown

Yes, try what I show in this thread.  Totally a BIOS solution.
