Wake On Lan (WOL) for Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E
- by Heisennberg
I'm unsuccessfully trying to get Wake on Lan to work with my local server (IP Address : 192.168.0.2, distro Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS) which has a Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E ethernet card.
The computer sending the WOL is a Macbook Pro which is connected on the same network.
Yet the server fails to start.
Here what I have done so far :
name@serverName ~ $ cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
Device S-state Status Sysfs node

and I'm calling the WOL with :
name@serverName ~ $ wakeonlan xx:xx:xx:xx:xx`
Sending magic packet to 255.255.255.255:9 with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
I have succesfully activated the WOL option in my computer BIOS.
Any idea ?
