Hi

I have an Asus PK5 motherboard with an Attansic L1 network adapter and "Wake on lan" does not seem to work under Ubuntu Feisty.

I do the usual

ethtool -s eth1 wol g

and halt the machine

halt

The led of the network card stays on while the machine is down. But then sending the magic packet does not restart the machine or cause any kind of effect.

I tried to install Windows XP in the same machine and it works flawlessly (so BIOS configuration). I am able to restart the machine without problems by sending the packet with wakeonlan.

I downloaded the last version of your driver, compiled and installed it but still no success.

Does the Attansic L1 Linux driver support WOL?
Any other thing I should take into account or verify?
Any idea?

Regards.

    Sorry, I mistyped the name of the model in my last comment. The actual model of the mother board is Asus P5K.

    It contains a Socket 775 and Intel P35 chipset.

    Details are here:

    http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=534&l4=0&model=1637&modelmenu=1

    When I "cat /proc/acpi/wakeup" PCI does not appear anywhere:

    cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
    Device Sleep state Status
    P0P2 4 disabled
    P0P1 4 disabled
    UAR1 4 disabled
    PS2K 4 disabled
    EUSB 4 disabled
    USBE 4 disabled
    P0P5 4 disabled
    P0P6 4 disabled
    P0P7 4 disabled
    P0P8 4 disabled
    P0P9 4 disabled
    USB0 4 disabled
    USB1 4 disabled
    USB2 4 disabled
    USB3 4 disabled
    USB4 4 disabled
    USB5 4 disabled
    USB6 4 disabled
    P0P4 4 disabled

    Is this normal? Sorry, I am new to Linux.

    Regards.

    Hi

    Me again. I tested installing an additional network card in the computer.
    Just by doing the ethtool -s eth1 wol g stuff with this second card and the Wake on Lan starts to work without problems (with the added card, not with the embedded Attansic card, of course).

    Because of this, I assume it is not the Ubuntu installation that is failing, but the driver for the Attansic network card that is not working.

    Do you support WOL?
    Any ideas on this?

    Regards.
