TomS. Posted June 9, 2016 #1 Posted June 9, 2016 Greetings all, For those with working Wake-On-LAN (WOL), has anyone configured their NAS to wake on a unicast packet instead of the default magic packet? ethtool -s eth0 wol u The above command returns to the prompt with no feedback for my nForce 430. A look at the adapter status shows that wol is unchanged at Ma"g"ic Packet. nas-ftw> ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: g Link detected: yes I suspect other wake modes have not been implemented in forcedeth, Nvidia's nForce 4 driver for Linux because of the "Supports.. line. Other OS, same NIC, will wake up on unicast. e.g. Windows | Device Manager | nforce nic | Wake on Lan | Allow this device to wake the computer, and _not_ checking only allow a magic packet to wake. I'd appreciate any reports of the output from below for other NIC hardware. ethtool & ethtool -i for NIC standard information and driver version. This is a home system. My goal is to let it sleep after some inactivity, ACPI S3 suspend to RAM, wake up within 30sec when any client attempts a transaction (media, file, print), then fall back asleep. For longer periods of inactivity, it already hibernates properly. Thank you in advance.

TomS. Posted June 9, 2016 Author #3 Posted June 9, 2016 @holybabel, Thank you. Perfect information. Big difference in your Supports Wake-on: results: Supports Wake-on: pumbg I'm curious to see reports from Realtek and Broadcomm Nic's now. Look's like a NIC upgrade is in the future.
