Disabel Wake on Lan (WOL)

Hi,
I'm playing with pwersaving options of my Laptop.
Everything is working quite well, but i'm not able to disable WOL.
I tried this, which has no effect:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Po … interfaces
Then i recognized, that NetworkManager is making changes to the card. So I made a dispatcher script, which works, when the enp5s0 is activated:
$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/90-wol
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$2" = "up" -a "$1" = "enp5s0" ]; then
/usr/bin/ethtool -s enp5s0 wol d
fi
For setting wol disabled after boot I made a systemd unit
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/enp5s0-wol-d.service
[Unit]
Description=Disable wol on enp5s0
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ethtool -s enp5s0 wol d
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
which also works, but after suspend wol is set to state "g" again! grrrrr.
Does anybody have some suggestions who else could be fiddling around with the wol-settings?
There have to be some simpler solutions to disable wol.
Any suggestions and ideas are welcome.
Thanks.

If everything goes good you can always go back to Linksys firmware. You simply have to flash the latest Linksys firmware and then reset the router to factory defaults pressing the reset button for 30 seconds. Then it's back to what it was.
Of course, there is a certain risk that the 3rd party upgrade won't go through properly and maybe even damage the router. 3rd party fimware is of course not covered by warranty. Thus you want to be careful and read the instructions carefully.
Downgrading to older firmware is also always possible except in a very few rare cases I guess where a firmware upgrade changes something to the hardware (flash a different BIOS, boot loader, flash firmware in an internal chipset). But I think this is more a theoretical problem. If there was, you should find competent help in the dd-wrt forum.
The hardware version is printed on the label underneath the router. It says WRT610Nv2 or similar. If it only says WRT610N you have a v1.

H77MA-G43 wake on lan (WOL) issue

Hi guys,
I need WOL to be enabled on 4 machine h77ma-g43 based, I3 3220 CPU.
I have last BIOS installed , 1,9, I've disabled eup, tryn' for half an hour to enable WOL on the integrated NIC but nothing seems to work...
I think the only way is to buy a new PCIE NIC... (because there's "wake on pcie" on the bios settings) and this is very disappointing.
PS. When mobo is turned off, I see no led activity, WOL software is well configured and I often use it with other mobos/PCs.
Any suggestion? If not... this is the first mobo I ever see that not support WOL!!
thank you

K9A2 CF Wake On Lan / WOL issue

Hi everyone,
Need a bit of help here
I've been finding it impossible to get Wake on Lan working on my PC. I cannot manage to get the lights on the back of the LAN port to stay on after sleep or shutdown. I've tried all different settings in BIOS:
- enabled hpet
- enabled acpi function
- set acpi state = s3
- enabled resume by pci (pme)
- enabled resume by pci-e
- in Vista device mgr I have enabled "Shutdown Wake-On-Lan"
- and "Allow this device to wake the computer" - although I didn't think that should go along with "allow the PC to turn off this device to save power".
I have also upgraded bios (1.8) and LAN driver (Realtek 8111B v6.216).
I'm not sure if the issue could be related to the PSU?
I'm completely out of ideas - can anyone help?
Has anyone got WOL working using the onboard LAN for this board K9A2 CF?
If you need any more info then let me know
Thanks for your help,
Colly

What happens is that CMOS forgets all manual settings you have done previously. Starts a-fresh. You set date, time, out-speed for the processor and boot order. Some other adjustment too, but what I don't know.
Did you use LiveUpdate for the procedure? LiveUpdate is easily disturbed because it runs in a busy Windows environment. That may be another reason for the problem you have. You may have to re-update. Please ust the forum USB-tool next time. It does its job in a quiet environment.

MSI P45 Diamond (MS-7516) Wake On LAN (WoL)

Hello,
I buy a new computer with this motherboard (MSI P45 Diamond (MS-7516) BIOS v1.5) and try enable Wake on LAN function in bios, but i can't find it. Can be WoL enabled on this motherboard? How?
Thanks for any help

There is no option for it. Access the Device Manager and configure WoL there.

Wake-on-LAN (WOL)

Does anyone have Wake-on-LAN working? I downloaded a program called 'Wake550.app' which seems pretty straight forward. I have 'Wake for Ethernet network administrator access' enabled on the target computer. The computers are on the same subnet, but I just can't get it to work. This is a simple home network and its not worth investing in Apple's Remote Access software. Any suggestions?

I would also really like to know if it is possible to power-on a Mac via LAN. I haven't been able to get it to work, though I can wake my Macs from sleep. The Wikipedia article on Wake-on-LAN notes that a machine needs to reserve power for the ethernet card in order for WOL to work, so my guess is that the power management option that allows for WOL on Macs doesn't include reserving power for the ethernet card when the Mac is off.

Wake on lan (wol), uswsusp and 8139too

hello,
i want to get wake-on-lan working with uswsusp (or pm-utils, both don't work). when i halt the computer (like described here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Wake_on_lan#Manual_method) and sent a magic packet with "wol", the computer starts, but when i suspend through "s2disk" (or pm-hibernate or "echo disk > /sys/power/state") the network card settings get somehow erased so it does not receive the magic packet.
what i've done so far:
1.) ethtool -s eth0 wol g
2.) in my /etc/modprobe.conf i have: "install 8139too /sbin/modprobe -i 8139too; ethtool -s eth0 wol g"
3.) echo -n PCI1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup # (to get: "PCI1 S4 enabled")
4.) echo -n shutdown > /sys/power/disk # (default is platform)
for shutting down the computer the first and third entry and then simply running "halt" did the trick, but for hibernating it simply doesn't wnat to work. i've tried every combination of things above. nada!
i've also tried this https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipe … 10472.html:
Rmmod 8139 driver before suspend and use shutdown, not platform, mode
that also didn't work (no driver, no interface).
there are thousands of howtos out there, but most of them concentrate on shutting down not hibernating the computer.
wol is a really nice feature. i often use ssh, my computer is always running when i'm not at home. and i want to use hibernate.
using wol would save a lot of power.
my network card:
Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 10)
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DFE-528TX 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter
though lshwd says:
8139too : D-Link System Inc.|DFE 530 TX+ Fast Ethernet Adapter
any other suggestions or hints?
please...
vlad
ps: and no, i don't want to use tuxonice.
Last edited by DonVla (2008-01-31 13:28:11)

i think the problem is that when hibernating the system is powered off by:
poweroff -d -f -h -i
with flags:
-d Don't write the wtmp record. The -n flag implies -d
-f Force halt or reboot, don't call shutdown(8)
-i Shut down all network interfaces just before halt or reboot
-h Put all harddrives on the system in standby mode just before halt or poweroff
i want to get rid of the -i flag. i don't know how to change this. there is no such configure option for uswsusp.
where can i change this for pm-utils if possible.
oh, as i see poweroff is a symlink to halt.
now i'm totally confused...
vlad
EDIT:
gentoo has this
RC_DOWN_INTERFACE="no"
entry which, as a friend of mine using gentoo told me, also works with hibernate.
is there a similar setting for arch?

Cisco RV180 and Wake-On-Lan (WOL)

Hello,
I got a RV180 (firmware version: 1.0.1.9) and I am bit surprised by the lack of the configuration flexibility...
I am trying to use Wake-On-Lan (from internet) to wake up a machine in my home (trying to be green and not keep the machine on all the time, just when i need it).
The configuration is quite simple:
Work machine ----> (internet) ----> (WAN) RV180 (LAN) ----> Home Machine (off, linux, wol enabled for UNICAST and Magic Packet - flags "ug")
What i tried so far:
1. All the following RV180 settings together:
   a. Used Port Forwarding from the WAN IP to the Home Machine IP (UDP port 7 and 9)
       - i had no choice but to put the Home Machine's IP address, since i cannot put the BROADCAST address (xxx.xxx.xxx.255) <- forbidden in the configuration page (i wonder if a new version of firmware allows this)
   b. Used Static DHCP to pair the Home Machine's IP to it's MAC address
   c. Used IP/MAC binding for the Home Machine
2. All the following RV180 settings together:
   a. Created a PPTP VPN connection
   b. Connected from the Work machine (obtained a LAN IP, can ping the Home Machine if it is on)
   c. Tried to send a broadcast message to LAN (no success !)
3. I also tried to activate the MULTICAST and BROADCAST WOL flags on the Home Machine but it seems that it receives some messages and the machine wakes up in a very short amount of time after i shut it down (it seems that RV180 sends some messages over LAN by itself).
In all the 3 possibilites above i was not successful in using WOL....
Is there any possibility to use WOL from internet in this configuration ?
Are there new options that will allow WOL from internet in the latest firmware ?
Any advice is appreciated
Thank you
Mircea

Dear Mircea,
Thank you for reaching the Small Business Support Community.
I was researching about your concern and found several people with the same inquiry where they were told WoL is not a supported feature on these Small Business Routers and that I think is a correct assumption, however I found the below threat where someone with a similar case scenario as yours were able to make it work, it's on a different RV router but I thought I may be interesting for you to check;
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2188810
Please let me know if there is any further assistance I may help you with.

H55M-E21 LAN off (LED off) in S3 state, can't use wake on LAN (WOL)

I'm using H55M-E21 and Win7.
I can put PC to sleep mode (S3) and can wake it up by PS2 keyboard. Now I want to try remote desktop to wake up and connect to the slept PC. I can't connect to it.
The LAN link is down, the link LED from the back of PC is off.
In BIOS -> Power management -> ACPI on, BIOS on, ACPI Stanby state = S3, EuP2013 diabled
In Wakeup Event -> Resume by PCIor PCI-E device enbled.
Please help.

There are a few things you should check. Go into device manager and open the properties for the NIC you are using for this remote connection. First click on the Power Management tab and make sure the options are checked to "Allow this device to wake the computer". I would uncheck the option to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" if it won't work while it's checked. You should also check the magic packet box.
Click on the Advanced tab and enable the option for "Wake on Magic Packet" and "Wake on pattern match". I can't recall if the "Shutdown Wake-On-Lan" option is supposed to be enabled or disabled but try enabled first.

Strange on - Wake on LAN (WOL) works with Win2K3, but not Windows 7

Hi,
I have a PC that I originally had Windows 2003 on. With Win2K3, I can send a wakeonlan (magic) packet (WOL) and get it to power on remotely from my home network/LAN.
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, in a dual-boot configuration, i.e., so I can boot the machine to either Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit or Win2K3.
As mentioned, I can power the machine up remotely (from my home network/LAN), but if I've LAST booted into Win7, then shutdown, it doesn't respond to the WOL packet.
I've confirmed that if I boot into Win2K3, then shutdown, the WOL works fine.
I have another PC that has both Win2K3 and Windows 7 (also dual boot), and that works fine with WOL.
One difference between the one that doesn't work vs. the one that works is that the one that works is a machine that I just built a couple of weeks ago, which uses an MSI 880gm-E43 motherboard.
The one that doesn't work also has an MSI motherboard, but it's an older one, an MSI K9NBPM2-FID.
I've cross-checked the various Windows power management settings between the one that works, and the one that doesn't work, but I just can't get WOL to work with Win7 on that older machine. I've even turned the Windows Firewall off completely on the machine where WOL isn't working, but no matter what I've tried thus far, no joy :(...
The only thing that I can think of is that the network card driver (it's the MS one, from the Win7 distribution) might not work with WOL, but I've checked, and it's the latest driver from MS (Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller - 10/17/2008 - 1.0.1.211), and MSI doesn't have a specific Win7 64-bit driver for this motherboard.
So, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about this?
Is there some registry setting or something that might allow WOL to work?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
Unbelievable!
Just for the record, I got WOL working with the older machine, JUST after I posted the original msg.
Here's what I did:
- I was in Device Manager, and did Update Driver, but
- I selected to let me choose, and then I checked the "Show Compatible devices" checkbox
Then, a 2nd, older (10/6/2006 - 6.2.0.127) driver appeared, so I figured, "what the heck?" and tried that. I then shut the machine down, and sent a WOL packet to it, and kind of forgot about it (machines in a different room), but a few minutes later "bing!", the machine had powered up and booted into Win7!!
Anyway, as I said, for the record, and hope that this helps someone in the future.
Jim

Windows 10 PC starting automatically due to Wake On LAN (WOL) Setting

If you have a PC randomly waking up after upgrading to Windows 10, you can run this command in an elevated command prompt to see what last woke the computer up:
powercfg /lastwake
In my case, there were 2 issues: one is Windows has a scheduled task called mcupdate_scheduled which is set to wake the computer up. Here is a picture which shows where to disable this:
I also had an issue with TeamViewer, which may be fixed with a future update. I even disabled the WOL feature within TeamViewer but it didn't help. The only way I was able to stop it was to go into Services and disable the "TeamViewer 10" service.
This will still allow you to use TeamViewer to connect to other machines, but will disable remote access to the machine itself, which is all I needed in my case. Other alternatives I use to connect remotely are Splashtop, VNC, and RDP.

Wake-On-Lan (WOL) after sleep causes high CPU usage

Hi,
I noticed a problem with constant high CPU usage on one of my cores.
As much as 60% was used.
The problem occures after I put the system to "sleep" (S3 state) and perform a WOL with a "magic packet".
I discovered that ACPI.sys+0x1af44 thread was responsible (using sysinternals ProcessExplorer) under the System process.
If i perform WOL while the machine was shut down everything works perfectly.
My NIC is "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller" and I'm using the latest drivers.
I discovered that if I disabled the option in Power Management for the device: "Allow this device to wake the computer", the CPU usage immediately went to normal (without restarting). But enabling it back the high CPU usage resumes. Performing
another sleep and awaking the system with power button "resets" the CPU usage issue for "good". Until i WOL from sleep again ofcourse..
I contacted the motherboard manufacturer of the problem but so far no real answer.
I'm saddened because I need the WOL feature.
I'm hoping somebody who has more insight in the behaviour of ACPI on W7 can answer my questions.

Wake On LAN no longer works since Build 9926

Hi recently I updated to Build 9926 and since then Wake On LAN WOL no longer works! Before the update, everything was ok.
Is this a known issue?
Thanks

Hi recently I updated to Build 9926 and since then Wake On LAN WOL no longer works! Before the update, everything was ok.
Is this a known issue?
Thanks
I presume it is caused by booting process.
After updating to Build 9926 from the older Build, two entries have been created in bootloader, i.e. there exist Windows Technical Preview and Windows Rollback. (see picture)
Even if WOL sends magic packets to PC that is powered off, these packets does not reach Windows, since Windows does not run yet at that time.
In order for WOL to work when PC is powered off, I think "Windows Rollback" entry should be deleted.
Sorry I have not done it yet, and hope someone give us better information.

Dot1x + wake on lan

hi,
i found some datasheet about dot1x and WOL, but no ones gave me satisfaction this day.
I try to have the WOL with dot1x, but is it possible ?
i have switch 2960X (SW version :15.0(2)EX4) )
the initial port's configuration below (for dot1x of course) :
authentication port-control auto
authentication violation protect
dot1x pae authenticator
with the value "authentication port-control auto" the magic packet cannot access to the computer. When i remove the value, the compoter boot correctly but, i dont have any authentication, the port keeps the old authentication and i dont see my computer on the ACS when he reboots. (i see the computer for each reboots on ACS).
but, i can log on the network domain, i have an IP, but i dont know if the computer is legit or not
i want to see the computer's registration with "sh authenti session int xxxx"
without the value "port control auto" i just see :
MAC Address: Unknown
IP Address: Unknown
Status: Authz Success
and with the value :
MAC Address: b4b5.2fae.xxxx
IP Address: 10.45.66.54
User-Name: ps01826
so, how do I do ? is it possible or not ?
thank for the reply

i found the answer this morning :
"IEEE 802.1X Authentication with Wake on LAN
The IEEE 802.1X authentication with wake on LAN (WoL) feature allows dormant PCs to be powered when the switch receives a specific Ethernet frame, known as the “magic packet.” You can use this feature in environments where administrators need to connect to systems that have been powered off.
When a host that uses WoL is attached through an 802.1X port and the host powers off, the 802.1X port becomes unauthorized. The port can only receive and send EAPOL packets, and WoL magic packets cannot reach the host. When the PC is powered off, it is not authorized, and the switch port is not opened.
When the switch uses 802.1X authentication with WoL, the switch forwards traffic to unauthorized 802.1x ports, including magic packets. While the port is unauthorized, the switch continues to block ingress traffic other than EAPOL packets. The host can receive packets but cannot send packets to other devices in the network."
describes exactly the problem i have, and i cant fix it because if i remove the "authentication port-control auto" the computer does not authenticate anymore :/

C445 and wake on lan

Is it possible to use wake on lan with a C445 all in one PC? Normally this is enabled in the Bios but this unit doesn't seem to use a bios.

hi stevemaz,
Welcome to the Forums.
The Ideacentre C445 does use a BIOS and you can access it by pressing F1 on power up.
It's possible to use the Wake-On-LAN (WOL) feature of this unit as long as it meets the following requirements:
1. WOL must be enabled in the BIOS (this model has one)
- Link to picture
2. WOL must enabled in the LAN card
- I'm unable to verify this as there's no available C445 here in the lab.
Check this article for more info on how to enable WOL

Wake On Lan Problem

Hello,
I have enabled PME ON WAKE from the Bios currently I am using motherboard Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3.
I have enabled Wake on Magic Packet, Disabled Wake on Pattern Match, Shutdown Wake On Lan is enabled.
I have also created a Port Forward on my Virgin SuperHub.
But I am still unable to Wake on Lan? Is there anything else I can do.
