I was wondering if there is a way for Python to access the
WOL bios settings on a Win32 system and enable it. Either by directly
accessing the information, or using WMI/etc. to process the change. Previously, I thought that direct BIOS access in Windows NT+
could not be done. However, from what appears to be here: http://support2.jp.dell.com/docs/software/smdccu/1.2/ug/dccuusg.htm It looks like Dell at least has worked around that. At the very least, I suppose I could try to detect the
Make/Model via WMI and do a system call to a 3rd party app such as DCCU to
process the change. I would prefer not to do that though, since it seems
that other vendor’s solutions such as IBM’s (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-41472)
is not nearly as clean (it requires booting off a floppy and rebooting and
such). Any help would be appreciated! - DF |
