Question 7.10 Server wol (wake-on-lan) via ARP (no magic packet), help?


I have spent the better part of a few weeks googleing everything I can think of to find out how to set up my server to go into sleep mode (s3) and wake up when someone sends an http request.

So far I have successfully gotten the computer to enter sleep mode and wake up with a magic packet tool. However, I want to have the server wake up on a http request WITHOUT the magic packet. Am I right to understand that I am looking for the "Wake on ARP" option for this?

The output of "ethtool eth0" on my server is

"
...
Supports Wake-on: pg
Wake-on: g
...
"

So as far as I can tell the default driver for my network card does not support the 'a' (Wake on ARP) option. Is there any way to get a custom driver for my network card?

My card is on the motherboard
88E8001 Marvell Gigabit Ethernet Controller

can someone please please please help me find a way to do this? Thanks
