Thread: Wake-On-Lan on a Compal IFL90

hi forum,

desperately trying configure wake-on-lan (wol) on headless installation of ubuntu 11.04 (natty) on no-name laptop based on compal ifl90 barebone. setup headless in sense laptop's gfx card broken , therefore able access machine via ssh. laptop has broadcom netlink bcm5787m gigabit ethernet adapter.

code:

borg@sokrates:~$ lspci | grep 04:00.0 04:00.0 ethernet controller: broadcom corporation netlink bcm5787m gigabit ethernet pci express (rev 02)

i have followed instructions [1] , [2] (in german, sorry) in order activate wol doesn't work. due broken gfx card not able access bios according information in [3] ifl 90's bios not offer option enable wol anyway , enabled default.

supported fact in current configuration led @ machine's ethernet port active , router indicates active link (active led) when machine not running. have ensured magic packet arrives @ machine when running tcpdump.

code:

borg@sokrates:~$ ifconfig eth0 | grep hwaddr eth0      link encap:ethernet  hwaddr 00:1b:38:2b:aa:fd

i trying wake machine via wireless connection thinkpad w510 with

code:

fabian@platon:~$ sudo etherwake -i wlan0 -d 00:1b:38:2b:aa:fd target station address 0:1b:38:2b:aa:fd. sendto worked ! 116.

the network interface configured statically in /etc/network/interfaces

code:

borg@sokrates:~$ sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static     address 192.168.0.101     netmask 255.255.255.0     gateway 192.168.0.1     pre-down /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g

and wol seems configured properly

code:

borg@sokrates:~$ sudo ethtool eth0     supports wake-on: g     wake-on: g

code:

borg@sokrates:~$ cat /proc/acpi/wakeup  device    s-state      status   sysfs node hdef      s4    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1b.0 pxsx      s5    *enabled   pci:0000:04:00.0

i tried troublyshooting options [1] , [2] - nothing helped.

on matter appreciated want enable wol machine.

there can narrow down problem?
have ideas further things try?

alot!
borg
