Hi,

In my Debian Linux 6.0 /etc/network/interfaces, I have:

#allow wake on lan
#see wiki.debian.org/WakeOnLan
iface eth0 inet dhcp
       post-up /sbin/ethtool -s $IFACE wol g
       post-down /sbin/ethtool -s $IFACE wol g

And it doesn't wake up when I send it wol magic packets.
It *does* WOL after shutting down from Windows, accomplished by using=20
Windows control panel to enable wake on lan, and to wake on magic=20
packet, using the Device Manager->Atheros network adapter Advanced=20
panel.  There are no bios settings related to wake on lan.

Is there something else I need to do, like additionally getting linux to=20
set up wake on PCI events?


It is a Gateway netbook, EC14 series, possibly LT20[1], with Atheros=20
AR8131 PCI-E ethernet controller.

I really want to avoid digging into the driver source code and=20
recompiling the kernel just for this issue.
