These sorts of vagaries are maddening. But they seem hardware and OS dependent and have nothing to do with SrvrPowerCtrl, per se.
If you're actually suspending (rather than hibernating) then you might try some of the optional suspend command line quirk arguments. The sort of symptom you describe is something I've experienced before...but with returning from suspend, not hibernation. Adding a suspend quirk arg to the command line has always fixed it...expect on old, no-hope hardware that just doesn't support S3 sleep very well. See the quirks page, available as a link from the SrvrPowerCtrl plugin help page. Try testing your VBA's ability to suspend or hibernate and fully wake up via WOL independently of SrvrPowerCtrl by trying the various pm-utils from a console command line. See: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man8/pm-action.8.html for documentation. (Yes, I know that VB is built on Fedora...that Ubuntu page was just what Google popped up first.) Are you running the latest version of SrvrPowerCtrl beta, ver. 20110601.120532? -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
