Trying to get WoWLAN to work.

[oshunluvr]

I have a PC in another room I want to wake up remotely to "service" it remotely. WoL works on the ethernet port if it's plugged in (obviously) but WoWL does not work. The wifi device reports wake-on-lan is supported.

My assumption is the wifi is powered off but the ethernet "listens" when it's off.

I really don't know where to start...

No idea if this is relevant, but if not, maybe it will trigger your creative juices and help you in the right direction.

That is correct.

For wifi it depends on the chipset, and likely only is supported in certain suspend states

My research reveals most mobo venders have not enabled this functionality for wifi devices even though the wifi device itself is capable. The one post I read that was able to get it to work used a wifi-to-ether bridge as the "wake-up" device. Not worth all it for my use. I just wondered if it was possible. I'll just have to turn it on manually if I want to service it.
