You got the link to that?

Nooooo...... There is no package for s2ram.... what you downloaded was the source code. You have to compile it.... and for that you need a dev system, or at least a BUNCH of packages (and more than 512MB RAM if doing it under unRAID) in order to compile source. After looking thru the file I thought it might be source code, but I wasn't sure since my knowledge of Linux is still very minimal. Oh well. I guess I'll just sit back and wait a little longer. Thanks for the input.

Sorry to be such a noob, but which version of s2ram should I get. I understand unRAID is built off Slackware, but I don't see that listed on the s2ram page. I saw a mention from a forum post somewhere that they got s2ram from slacky.eu. Unfortunately, that page is in Italian. EDIT: Okay I searched for the "Suspend" package on the slacky.eu page and it led me to http://suspend.sourceforge.net/. Is that the correct package? I'm off to go read up on how to install it now. EDIT2: Okay so I renamed suspend-0.8.tar.gz (from the sourceforge link above) to suspend-0.8.tgz and from /boot I executed: installpkg suspend-0.8.tgz Then I tried to execute: s2ram and got: s2ram: command not found I'm guessing it's either the wrong package or I did not install it properly. As a side note it appears there are no "removepkg" or "pkgtool" commands available.

I don't think I'm sending my system to sleep mode properly anymore. I send it the command "echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep" and it goes off. My NIC lights is off, but I can see that my ATI USB remote is getting power (it has a red LED that is lit up). When I press a key on the leyboard it does come on, but it looks like a full reboot. I see the BIOS post and then the normal boot to unRAID sequence. Am I sending the wrong command for sleep?

My German is way too rusty to follow that page...care to summarizes the key bits?

I was assuming one could use something like a Bart's PE or such to set the card from windows without having to actually install windows.

In some cases, you have to use Windows to force the registers on the NIC. Boot Windows, and then go to driver options for the NIC, and select all the options there. Also go to power management in the NIC, and make sure that "allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" is enabled, and disable "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." I know that should make a bit of difference, but some NIC drivers in Linux have some bugs when it comes to setting registers for things like WOL.... but it you do them first in Windows they will stick. Also, go to the latest unRAID beta... the .29 kernel has a number of s3 suspend improvements. My bench machine does not suspend with unRAID 4.4.2 but does splendidly with 4.5-Beta6. Great Tips. I'll try the new beta first, then see if the windows tricks do any good. With the new beta, does one still have to do all tweaks to turn it on and set the card?

Same here. The system goes to sleep, and I can see that the LAN light is still on for the NIC, but it just will not wake from a magic packet. Frustrating.
