Any success using WOL on a RPi

[graysky]

According to the specs, the RPi does support magic packet WOL. Indeed, installing the ethtool package and querying eth0 shows support:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '% sudo ethtool eth0 | grep Wake-on
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: d')

One can enable 'g' mode which allows magic packet WOL like this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '% sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g')

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '% sudo ethtool eth0 | grep Wake-on
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: g')

And now 'g' mode is enabled, but I am unable to wake the RPi from a shutdown as I can all my other machines... thoughts are welcomed.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '% wol b8:27:eb:27:8f:fb
Waking up b8:27:eb:27:8f:fb...')

The LAN is a USB<>ethernet adapter. I don't think the SoC supports WOL this way.

Try as I might, I can't imaging this working
But this was interesting reading

Thanks for the replies all. Insominia kept me up all night but I did come across some stuff that explained why WOL is not possible. I will try to find it and update this thread. My memory was that the source was elinux.org ... stay tuned.
