Wake-on-LAN for 6712

I want to enable wake-on-LAN for the onboard LAN controller on my system, which has a KT4AV MS-6712 motherboard.
Is this possible, and if so, what BIOS settings do I require? I have tried enabling the PME (Power Management Event) on the Integrated Peripherals page, the ACPI standby state is set to S3/STR, I have enabled USB wakeup from S3 (that doesn't seem to work either), and Wake Up On Ring and Wake Up On PME and Resume on KBC are all enabled. The system _does_ wake on a keypress. In Windows WP, I have enabled "Allow this device to bring the system out of standby" (or words to that effect).
I watch the lights on the Ethernet hub flicker when the other system calls, but my system doesn't wake.
Thanks,
Phil Atkin

Hello! This is I know a difficult question, but first things first. I'm downloading the English manual from here. What manual have you got? The quickie/mult lingual might be too quick when it comes to BIOS.

No Wake-On-LAN for powered-down Macs?

I'm relatively new to Mac and don't have a lot of Mac experience or knowledge. Last week I completed the "Mac OS X Deployment v10.4" training in Sydney where the trainer told me that Wake-On-LAN will only work if the Mac in question is in sleep mode -i.e., you can't wake up a Mac that has been shut down. Is this really true?
As an administrator of Windows machines this seems like quite a shortcoming. From where I am sitting I can rebuild any room of computers in any town in my area of control (an area greater than 100,000 square kilometres in NSW, Australia) without having to be there physically to turn on the PCs. At the moment our two Mac rooms are located at my own site, but without Wake-On-LAN, there's no way I could see Macs being deployed anywhere else.
If Wake-On-LAN really does only work with Macs in Sleep mode, then how much power does a 20" Intel iMac draw when in Sleep mode? I really don't like the idea of setting a schedule for every Mac to turn on at a certain time then have them go into sleep mode each and every day on the off chance that I might want to rebuild just one of them. This seems like an awful waste of power to me.
Don't get me wrong, here. I'm not trying to flame because I'm very - very - impressed with Mac in almost every other respect (except the Finder and the Dock) and would switch to Mac long before I stomach Vista, but no Wake-On-LAN to me seems like an incredible stumbling block to Mac adoption.
Intel iMac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I've already complained of Mac's variation from the "standard" WOL implementation. This problem goes a step deeper as I just discovered.
If in the energy saver options you check the "Restart after a power failure event", the machine will do just that. If the power fails, and then comes back, the machine will boot.
If however, you cleanly shut down the machine, and then power fails, it does not turn back on when the power recovers. All PC's that have auto-power on with AC power restored set in their bios don't care if the machine was cleanly shutdown or crashed... when power comes back, it boots.
The problem here is that when a UPS detects a power failure and eventually decides to shut down the attached computer it should do so cleanly, not by just crashing it (that defeats the purpose of having a UPS!). After the computer turns off, the UPS will turn itself off, cutting power to the computer all together. When the AC power to the UPS returns, and the batteries charge sufficiently, it will turn BACK on, and restore power to the computers.
As it stands now, I have no mechanism by which to force my Mac to boot back up! I could depend on a linux machine on the network (that does behave properly) to send a WOL packet, but it doesn't do that correctly either... so I'm SOL
I can understand having 3 options for reboot after power restore. (1. Restore Always, 2. Restore when system on and power fails, 3. Never Restore).
Only giving us options 2 and 3 is just an oversight of how computers are used in the real world. For the desktop user that may on rare occasion find his machine powered off, and just presses the power button, this is a non issue... But in my opinion this completely eliminates a Mac like this from being used as a webserver/mailserver or other application where uptime is paramount.
I can't believe that Apple would overlook something so important and not provide a mechanism by which a UPS could turn a computer back on after a power recovery. Perhaps there is a non-published setting that doesn't have a check box on a form, that an OEM UPS driver would set that says "pretend you crashed".

Wake On Lan for Pavilion 500-046

I have been using Wake On Lan on my other computers to wake up computers on my network that have been shut down using the shutdown command from Windows 7. This is a very useful feature for me and I would like to get it working on my HP Pavilion Desk Top computer with Qualcomm AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controler. The Bios on the 500-046 has this option, and I have set it to ENABLE. I am running Windows 8.1 update on the Pavilion. I have, also, looked at other possible power settings in the device manager but I'm not having any luck getting this to work. There is absolutly no response from the Pavilion when a Wake On Lan signal is sent. A similar question was posted by me a couple of days ago with no responses. Maybe and Expert could give it a whirl. Thanks for any help.
This question was solved.

Hello fredkoch3,
I have read your post on how you are having problems wake on LAN issues with your desktop computer, and I would be happy to guide you towards a resolution!
To begin, I recommend following this thread on "Wake on LAN" (WOL) behavior in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. This should help explain how (WOL) is used for Windows 8.1 in comparison to Windows 7.
To find out if your system can be set to Wake on Lan I suggest running a "powercfg" command on your computer. This will check the power management features available. To do this, please follow the proceeding steps below:
Press and hold the Windows Key button and the R button simultaneously
Type in the word cmd in the box provided
In the Command Prompt window, please type in the command "powercfg -availablesleepstates"
Please compare the available sleep states using the System Power States document to see if (WOL) is available.
Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa373229.aspx
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Wake on lan for macbook pro residing behind a linksys router in clamshell

Hi:
I have a macbook pro residing behind a router at home
with its lid closed connected to an external display
and USB keyboard and mouse. When I use it at home, I
use the keyboard and mouse to wake it up (I believe
this is called clamshell mode) and use the external display.
I would like to access the machine from my office.
I have set up the "wake from lan" option in enery saver
and have forwarded port 9 (UDP) to the macbook pro.
But the machine does not wake up and I cannot ssh
into it from the outside (I have forwarded port 22 to it as well).
Is this a problem with operating it with the lid closed
that "wake on lan" is not working ?
How do I set this up ?
Thanks!

It has been fixed by latest SMC firmware update. Works fine on Mountain Lion.

Wake-on-LAN for G4 AGP?

I purchased a G4 AGP with plans to add it to my home ethernet network and allow other computers to access via filesharing. What I have discovered is that if the G4 goes to sleep, it cannot be wakened from another computer on the network (we have a G3 firewire and G4 powerbook connecting through an airport extreme).
Apple Article #106790 indicates that the G4 AGP does not support Wake-on-LAN. Does anyone have any solution other than using the energy saver control panel to prevent the G4 from sleeping? Is the issue the processor or the ethernet card-- could this be solved by adding a PCI ethernet card?

Satellite C660 - how to enable and Use WAKE ON LAN?

Hi All,
I previously posted asking about using Wake on Wireless LAN and was very helpfully advised that this was not possible, so I have started to explore the Wake ON LAN option.
I have a Toshiba C660 PSC0LE-00500JEN and have enabled Wake ON LAN on the BIOS, and have connected a LAN cable between my wireless router and the laptop, both of which recognise each other so the cable seems ok.
However, whether I use a WAKE ON LAN app on my android, or I use an online "wake on lan via browser" site, the laptop still remains asleep.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks
James

Hi
The Wake Up on Lan option would work if you would send an Magic Packet to the remote machine (notebook).
I have no experience using the Android app who knows if it function properly
Try other method. For example using an software like Wake on Lan for Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Google for that to download this software.
Furthermore go to device manager -> LAN card -> Properties -> Advanced tab and check here if the WOL is enabled too

Wake-on-LAN Breaks After Several Reboots, 3.18 Kernel

Greetings all,
I'm leaving town for a month and I dont' want keep my machine turned on so I set up Wake-on-LAN on my desktop machine running 3.18 kernel. Got the wol command working but the problem is that something breaks and won't work beyond a few reboots. If I phisycally power up and shutdown the machine and then try it again, it magically works again.
I set up port forwarding on my router then followed the wiki and tried every single method mentioned there, udev, cron, systemd and wol-systemd as a last resort. Strangely enough they all give me the same result, for whatever configuration, it doesn't last beyond a few reboots.
As it stands, this is my current configuration after installing the wol-systemd package from AUR:
[Unit]
Description=Wake-on-LAN for %i
Requires=network.target
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/enable-wol %i
Type=oneshot
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
My alternative is to leave my machine running, I can ssh into it just fine. but I'm hoping someone can shed some light. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks!
***EDIT***
No takers yet? Super quiet around the forums lately,
I'm no networking guru, but I read up on some additional material regarding this subject. Apparently my problem is related to my router's ARP cache releasing the IP address after an initial period. Since the cache expires the magic packets never reach the destination IP, which coincides with the problem I'm having.
An option is to use the broadcast address in place of the IP, however, that's beyond my router's capabilities, at least I think. My router is a Linksys EA6500. I've tried just about everything. I also tried messing around with AMT but that's even a bigger headache on linux. If anyone has a workaround it would surely be a great help. Thanks!

[solved] Cannot activate wake on lan with systemd

I have activated successfully wake on lan with systemd, following these guidelines :
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wol#With_systemd
My [email protected] is:
[Unit]

It worked nicely until I recently had to reinstall my server (following a disk replacement). Since then systemd fails to activate wake on lan.
Output from systemctl status wol@enp0s4 :
● [email protected] - Wake-on-LAN for enp0s4

Main PID: 181 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Output from ethtool enp0s4|grep "Wake" :

Wake-on: d
If I explicitly start the service with systemctl start wol@enp0s4, then ethtool enp0s4|grep "Wake" shows:
Supports Wake-on: pg
Wake-on: g
My guess is that the service does not start at the correct timing at boot.
I have also tried wol-systemd package from the AUR without success.

M93p BIOS issue: PowerOff not correct if Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disabled and Wake on Lan Enabled

Hi Levnovo support team, Recently I bought a M93p tiny(10AAA05MTW)(BIOS revision FBKT56A)and installed with Ubuntu 13.10 myself.Then tried to enable wake on lan for my tiny. The followings are my test result. 1. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Enabled, no mateter what is Wake On Lan setting PowerOff system is OK. 2. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disable and Wake On Lan Disabled PowerOff system is OK. 3. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disabled and Wake On Lan Primary or Automatic PowerOff system is NG. When I tried to power off system, it always can poweroff(LEDs on front all off) then POWER ON again in 2 or 3 seconds. I cannot accept this test result ,system should poweroff not reboot again. It's really hard to understand why enabling Wake on Lan will affect power off function. I tried the same procedures with my another M92p(3212A16)(BIOS revision 9SKT70AUS), and it works well.

Did you ever get a fix for this?Having the same issue on 3 of 6 machines that just arrived.

Wake on lan from power OFF

It appears that Mac's don't provide wake on lan from complete power off. I have no problem powering up my Mac from sleep, but it won't turn on from power off (like every PC I've tried). This is not difficult to do, as every $200 PC on the market w/ WOL does it.
I have my Mac on a large shared UPS with serveral other computers and network gear, etc.
There is a linux server which actually communicates with the UPS. During a power failure, that linux box will connect to ever other machine on the network sharing this UPS and tell them to SHUT OFF, not sleep, because hard power failure is emminent. When all remote machines are off, the linux machine shuts off, and the UPS powers off it's outlets.
On power recovery, the UPS waits until it's batteries are sufficiently recharged, and turns back on, powering up it's protected outlets. All the machines see power come back on, and are set to reboot.
Here is the problem. If the power comes back on AFTER the remote machines are shut down, but before the linux box turns off, the linux box sees power recovery, and the UPS never shuts off it's protected outlets. Now all the remote machines are off, and won't ever see their power cut off, and then recover, so they don't turn back on.
The PCs are easy... hit them with a wake-on-lan packet and they reboot from complete power off... but not the trusty Mac because Apple didn't implement that part of the wake-on-lan standard!
So... I'm faced with abandoning wake on lan for all the machines and building an interface with a big relay to KILL power to all remote machines to power them back on. Isn't this more than just a little silly? Apple... why not just make your machine comply with the standard so that it plays nicely in a mixed environment!
Providing wake on lan from sleep, and power on with power recovery, but no wake on lan from OFF is just ridiculous.
I welcome any ideas...
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Malcolm,
If I make it sleep, then I'm forcing it to crash when the power turns off. The idea here is for a graceful shutdown before emminent power failure when the UPS battery runs out.
The only reason it's getting shut down is that the main power has failed and the UPS battery is running low.
I agree that with no power they can't interpret packets and react... but that's why proper wake-on-lan implementations keep the NIC powered up to watch for WOL packets.
Thanks,
-Russ

Wake On Lan Broken in 10.9

I've been using Wake On LAN for ages to access a plex media server on my powerbook. It worked both inside and outside my network.
Since upgrading to 10.9 WOL seems to be completely shafted. Plex wont wake the machine up, the only way I can do it from inside my network is to ping it lots from the Wake Up function on a VNC client, and nothing will do it from outside the network.
Literally nothing has changed on my network setup, except that I upgraded my mac pro to 10.9
Anyone else had this problem/found a fix?

I have the same problem with Mavericks 10.9 and Macbook Air mid 2012. Posted the issue on http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html as well.

Wake on LAN with Actiontech MI424wr Router

I posted this by mistake in the DSL forum, sorry.
. I've set up Wake on LAN for the purpose of powering up a media server that handles all my video and picture files. I have it working fine within my LAN but I've run into a problem when I use it from outside, meaning the internet or my cellular network. The Actiontech MI424WR router does not let me port forward the broadcast address so I worked around this issue by creating a static entry in the ARP table that passes the "Magic packet" to the broadcast MAC of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. See http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16041 for the details.
This technique works fine but unfortunately, the ARP entry will not survive a router reboot or power down. From what information I've been able to find, it may be possible to create a startup script in the router that will re-create the ARP entry upon bootup. I've contacted Actiontech but they said I needed to speak to Verizon support. I contacted Verizon support and they gave me a number for the Verizon Expert Care Team. I'm kinda smelling a runaround so I figured I'd post the question here before I made any more calls.
If you read that link I posted, theres an interesting alternative using a second router and changing that router's MAC address to all "F"s but not many routers will allow you to do that, at least not the two I have. Anyway, if someone knows how to create a startup script or has an alternate solution, I'd be most interested in seeing it. Thanks in advance.

By the way if you are still interested here is my solution...
Just change the IP, username and password. Save this file to filename.vbs and Schedule a trigger (Daily Task, on PC startup) to run this script and you should be good to go
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.run"telnet 192.168.1.1"
WScript.Sleep 1500 WshShell.SendKeys"username"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys"password"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys"system shell"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys"arp -s 192.168.1.254 FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys"exit"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys"exit"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")

Wake on LAN/Keyboard wake for a K8N Neo Platinum - how do I use this?

I've got a K8N Neo Platinum motherboard that I am using in my home theater PC and I was hoping to enable either the wake on lan or keyboard wake functions so that they could be controlled via a remote control. For now disregard what the overall outcome I want to achieve is... what I want to know is if enabling the WOL and/or keyboard wake function will allow me to turn on the PC from a completely powered down state as opposed to just powering up from a sleep/hybernation mode. I have read people with other motherboards have been able to power up by using their keyboard, mouse or even WOL when the computer is totally shut down. I'm trying to avoid leaving the PC in a sleep/hybernation mode due to electricity usage. Does this motherboard have the ability to power up when the whole system is shut down?
Also, what key on the keyboard is used to wake up the computer? The manual and bios instructions say nothing about what key needs to be pressed to wake it up.

I know you can set various wake options in the bios. Check there!
You can wake up the computer by wriggling the mouse or pressing any key, if the options are enabled in the bios.
Hope this helps

Support for Wake On LAN

Would like to request the following changes (could make it more easy to support WOL):
/etc/config.d/wol:
# Comment out the following line to support Wake On LAN
WOL_ARGS="-i"
/etc/rc.shutdown (or wherever there's a reference to 'halt -i' or similar):
. /etc/conf.d/wol
/sbin/poweroff -d -f -h $WOL_ARGS
/sbin/reboot -d -f $WOL_ARGS
[Edit]
/etc/rc.d/network:
. /etc/conf.d/wol
if [ -n $WOL_ARGS ]; then
/sbin/ifconfig ${1} down >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
Thoughts?
Thanks
