I have been trying to setup wakeonlan on my desktop which uses an Asus M3N72-D and is running Kubuntu 12.04 64bit. I believe I have setup the bios correctly. I have enabled PME. I didn't find any other setting that mentioned wake on lan except EuP which I have disabled (it turns off WOL in the S5 state). In my rc.config put:

sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g

But that hasn't resolved the problem. Some things that might hint at a solution are that presently if I go into standby the computer will not come out of standby, and when I shutdown the computer the lights next the ethernet port always turn off.

I also ran wireshark while the computer was running and saw that the magic packet is able to reach the desktop with the correct MAC address.

Here is the results for ethtool eth0

 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000033 (51) drv probe ifdown ifup Link detected: yes

Is there anything else I can try to fix the problem?

The ethernet LED lights should not turn off completely after the shutdown. If they are then your network card is turned off and you will not be able to wake the machine.

Make sure you paste this line before the exit 0 command of /etc/rc.local (and after the #!.. line):

ethtool -s eth0 wol g

Then wake it up with:

wakeonlan 00:11:22:33:44:55

Some cards need the following:

sudo sh -c "echo enabled > /sys/class/net/eth0/device/power/wakeup"

source:

I had to install tlp and change WOL_DISABLE=N in the config file.
