I had the same issue with my Vortexbox. I had to edit /usr/local/sbin/network_up.sh and add the following 'echo "ethtool -s eth0 wol g" | at now + 1 minute' to set the WOL configuration after the network had started. This is with Fedora 16, so YMMV. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ induna's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34626 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100328 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
