 |
|
Hi,
I've recently setup Wake-On-Lan using sys-apps/ethtool-6 and net-misc/wol-0.7.1 -
everything fine so far.
Now I wanted to integrate "SecureOn"
| Code: | | #ethtool -s eth0 wol g sopass xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc |
Unfortunately my box still wakes up upon any MagicPacket
| Code: | | #wol 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0F |
seams to ignore passwords...
Is my NIC not supporting "SecureOn" or did I just misunderstand ethtool-Syntax?
Thanks for your help
Aszrael

The answer to your question is in man ethtool. You posted the following output:
| Code: | Supports Wake-on: pg
Wake-on: g |
That means your card supports "p" (physical activity) and "g" (magic packet), and that you have set it to "g". It looks like your card does not support SecureOn passwords. If it did, you would want to change your command line to "#ethtool -s eth0 wol s sopass xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc", but that's a moot point for you. |

I thought "SecureOn" was just an extension to MagicPacket - so that "g" would imply "s".
Thanks a lot for clarification.
