    [Solved] Wake-on-lan from suspend

    Hi,

    I try to wake up my PC with wake-on-lan from a suspend or hibernate state, but it does'nt work.
    Here is what I did :


    - Interface configuration with ethtool by adding wol option:
    ethtool -s eth0 wol g (script added in startup)
    Option is enabled and the card is compatible :
    Code:
    me@server:~$ sudo ethtool eth0
    Settings for eth0:
            Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
            Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                                    100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
                                    1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full

                                    1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full 
            Advertised pause frame use: No
            Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
            Link partner advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                                                 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
            Link partner advertised pause frame use: No
            Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes

            Duplex: Full
            Port: MII
            PHYAD: 0

            Current message level: 0x00000033 (51)
            Link detected: yes
    - Whitelist of the network card in acpi configuration :
    card driver :
    Code:
    me@server:~$ lsmod | grep mii
    mii                     4425  1 r8169
    acpi config :
    Code:
    me@server:~$ sudo vi /etc/default/acpi-support
    ...
    # Add modules to this list to leave them in the kernel over suspend/resume
    MODULES_WHITELIST="r8169"
    ...
    - suspend with pmi :
    Code:
    me@server:~$sudo pmi action suspend
    - wake-up by sending a magic paket with ether-wake :
    Code:
    me@server2:~$ether-wake -i eth0.1 00:1A:4D:XX:XX:XX
    I don't know how to debug.
    Fyi, the PC wakes up from a halt state, and I've tested with all compatible options of the network card, with no luck. I can see the light of the led on the router, so the card looks alive.

    config :
    Linux version 2.6.35-23-generic-pae (buildd@roseapple) (gcc version 4.4.5 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) ) #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 10:35:46 UTC 2010
    Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)

    hope someone can help me on this
    thx

    Re: Wake-on-lan from suspend

    Hi,

    Here is a workaround :

    Edit the script /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55NetworkManager and comment the call to the function suspend_nm (sending org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep signal)

    You can also rename the script, so the sleep.d acpi init won't call it and the card will stay alive.
    Not very clean but working.

    Another way is to run the NIC from pci-bus : (does not work for me )


    First, stop the NIC :
    echo 1 > /sys/class/net/eth0/device/remove
    Then, restart it from the PCI bus :
    echo 1 > /sys/class/pci_bus/0000:00/device/0000:00:00.0/rescan

    popawu,

    Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!! I looked everywhere and tried seemingly everything (to no avail) to try and get WOL working on my desktop. Only getting rid of 55NetworkManager worked. Thanks again so very much!
