Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Using SB to wake Linux machine

2008-08-19 Thread syburgh
WOL isn't related to ACPI power modes. Suspend (ACPI S3) isn't necessary to have WOL power on the system-- Celeron systems (e.g. D201GLY2) all lack ACPI S3 support, and nearly all of them can wake from LAN when configured with ethtool. The best way to debug this is to simply set the ethtool optio

You probably need to do the setup again on the player (press the back button for 5-10 sec, it'll take you back to the setup. Or press "+" at startup to perform a factory reset of the player). Then connect to SqueezeCenter instead of Squeezenetwork, and you should then be connected to your newly

It is worth it though. :o) I used to run Squeezecenter on my Windows box, but there's too much downtime rebooting after the latest Microsoft patch etc. Solaris just stays up. And with Solaris you get ZFS, which gives you a flexible upgradable software RAID that is ridiculously easy to configur
