Wake on Lan issues

[Teschnofan]

Hi,

I'm running two U700 with debian 10.5.

According to ethtool, Wake on Lan is supported and "Wake on Magic Packet" is activated,
but I can't get them to wake up using various tools on Windows or Linux.

Any help is appreciated.

Did you enter the BIOS to enable Wake-on-LAN? @Teschnofan

 

[Teschnofan]

I went through BIOS options but couldn't find a dedicated Wake-On-LAN option

 

[joey]

The U700 supports Wake-On-LAN after updating EC. But there is no option of Wake-on-LAN in BIOS, it is enabled by default . NOTES：This EC is only applicable to U700 , please do not run this file on other machines, the consequence will cause BIOS damage
Please download and run the .exe file as an administrator.

Thanks for the reply...

Could you just explain what "updating EC" means?
Why is the file called U500Huautopoweron.exe if it is for U700 ?
I'm not too happy running an .exe-file from an one-click-hoster, but if it solves the problem...

Apart from that, is there a way to update the EC on Linux (see first post, I'm running debian) ?

 

[Teschnofan]

ok, so I installed Windows in order to get the EC update running...
Auto power on works now (although I don't need it), but Wake on LAN is still not working

any other suggestions ?
or is there a way to get a proper BIOS with all available settings enabled

Hello dear,

I see that this topic is also discussed in this thread.

Automatic Power on after Power loss?

I would like to run the U700 as a data and media server with Linux, but cannot find any BIOS Settings for Automatic Power on after Power loss. Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Bios flashing is only possible from windows for now.

You can run a Windows on usb stick only for flashing bios that way you don't have to install Windows all the way just to flash the bios.

@joey have tried hirens windows boot maybe he can just try to run the flash exe and confirm if this method will work. He can advice more on wake on lan soon as it is first day of the week so much be busy.

Hi spikerguy,

as mentioned in my last post I've updated the EC, but it is still not working.

 

[Teschnofan]

Ok, funny enough... WoL is working under Windows, but not under Linux / Debian... any suggestions ?
ethtool is showing Wake-On-LAN enabled but it is still no working ?

 

[spikerguy]

Can you share hardware information about the lan card? So maybe we can look up at linux kernel to see if it have a working wol driver.

Also advice which kernel are you running on?

Hi,@Teschnofan After you update the EC, this WOL is enabled by default and there is no option to disable it in the bios.
For the WOL ,please refer to the article : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wake-on-LAN
