November 14, 201114 yr Someone help !! Running unRaid 5b13 with Sf 0.9f on H61M-E23 (B3). It supports S1/S3 and few ACPI 2.0 options. WOL is not working everytime with it. If I force the machine to sleep... and send magic packet after few minutes.. it will come back. If I force the machine to sleep... and send magic packet after 30 minutes.. nothing happens. Using http://magicpacket.free.fr/ from windows 7 machine. Help !!!!! Also, is there any WOL tool for mac?
November 17, 201114 yr Many types of hardware, after being woken up, need to be re-set to wake again, or re-initialized to work at all. It is why you'll often see ethtool being used in scripts to reset the WOL flag on the NIC after a wake-up occurs.
November 17, 201114 yr Author any suggestions to fix this issue? or suggest a better network card that does remote WOL and is compatible with unRaid?
November 18, 201114 yr someone posting in the forum post below had the same problem when sending WOL over WLAN, theres a solution also posted, hope it helps. http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=459
November 18, 201114 yr as I said earlier, after waking, many network cards must be reset with something like this before they will listen for another WOL packet. Many will need their speed reset too. After waking, type ethtool eth0 to see what is set. If you do not see Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g then you need to set the "wol" option as below. If you do not see the speed as 1000Mb/s, you need to set that too. # Do post-sleep activities, reset wake-on-lan ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 ethtool -s eth0 wol g
