TomS. Posted June 9, 2016 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomS. Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share #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.
