Enable Wake on lan on Ubuntu
Note to self, next time I'm wondering why WOL doesn't work with Ubuntu. Enable it the convoluted ways of NetworkManager. What was wrong with /etc/network/interfaces? nmcli connection show sudo nmcli connection modify 802-3-ethernet.wake-on-lan magic Make sure some over-zealous daemon does not thwart your efforts and shut down your NIC on suspend. sudo sed -i.bak -e 's/^WOL_DISABLE=Y/WOL_DISABLE=N/' Reboot and confirm the settings are good sudo ethtool | grep "Wake-on" Supports Wake-on : pumbg Wake-on : g Suspend your Ubuntu sudo pm-suspend Double check the link led is on. Set up and run a client on your favorite OS sudo port install wakeonlan wakeonlan
