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
