Hi

I've been struggling with WOL for a while now, I think it's time to turn to the experts.

I have Kubuntu 9.04 running on a VIA board with an onboard gigabit NIC.

I've got ethtool -s eth1 wol g running automatically

Whenever I boot, then run ethtool eth1, wake on g is enabled, so that appears to be working.

(The onboard NIC is definitely eth1, I have another PCI NIC which is eth0)

I also modified /proc/acpi/wakeup to have pci wakeup from S5 enabled. Although I don't have this happening automatically yet.

The way I want to wake the machine up is from my tomato based router. I can ssh into it and run the ether-wake command, but nothing happens.

I don't think it's a problem with the router, because I can wakeup my Windows PC using this method. And yes, I have static ARP entries for the Windows and Linux machines.

I'm sure the hardware supports WOL, because I've had this working before but using Fedora. And I really don't want to flatten.

I've run out of ideas, so I'm turning to the hive mind.

Can anyone help me?

Are you able to wake your Kubuntu machine from a Windows machine instead? I understand that you can wakeonlan with your Windows machine via the router, but we want to eliminate variables.

Also, some of these links may help if you haven't checked them out yet.

if you scroll to step three, you may need forwarding set up on your router.

Hope this helps.
