#13 Re: Turning on computers remotely Posted by Anonymous (145.7.xx.xx) on Sat 23 Jul 2005 at 09:48 I have the 3Com 3c940 1gbit marvell too. Its an onboard device on the Asus K8V Deluxe for AMD64. The wake-on-lan feature works just fine when I shutdown windows (hibernate does not work with wol, but shutdown does). When I use the wakeonlan linux tool to power the machine on over network, it works. But when I powerdown my machine in linux it does not work. I notice the LED on the back of my pc (nic) going off after shutdown in linux (while after shutdown in windows the LED stays on) and thus when I use the wakeonlan tool again, the pc wont respond. Probably because the nic is turned off by linux. I also get the same message when using ethtool, that it cannot get data from the card. Maybe a driver problem? Ive build it into the kernel by the way, I dont realy like modules. If anyone finds the solution to this problem, lightware@hotmail.com. thx.
