WOL isn't working

I cannot seem to get a Magic Packet to wake up my server. I read this forum it said to enter the "ethtool -s eth0 wol g", which I have. I then power off the server, tried to send a WOL packet, but WOL still doesn't work.

Funny, I just asked about this.  But before I did, I was investigating this myself a bit.

Jeff Atwood has a pretty decent, albeit windows-focused, blog post about the topic:  There are utilities you can get to verify that your WOL packets are going.

I forgot to mention that I have enabled S3 Mode in BIOS and checked that Enable LAN Wake or something, but WOL still wont work.

Did you use ethtool to check/set the proper values on the card?

When I originally built and setup the server, I had the same problem, and I used the 'ethtool -s eth0 wol g' command, powered off the server via webgui, and magic packets would wake up the server. I reset the bios and setup S3 STR and WOL Lan options, but still not working. I'm running 4.5.3 Pro on a Gigabyte motherboard with a Realtek 8111C NIC.

My 'go' script below:

#!/bin/bash

# Start the Management Utility

/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

sleep 30

for i in /dev/md*

do

   blockdev --setra 2048 $i

done

nohup awk -W re-interval -f listen.awk >/dev/null 2>&1 &

CTRLALTDEL=YES LOGSAVE=30 installpkg /boot/packages/powerdown-1.02-noarch-unRAID.tgz

sysctl -w kernel.poweroff_cmd="/sbin/powerdown"

echo "powerdown" | at 23:59

ethtool -s eth0 wol g

Is their anything that I'm missing? Thank-you.

I resolve this problem by rolling back to the 4.5.1 unRAID OS. Weird, must be a bug in the latest software and the 'Realtek 8111C' NIC.
