Having failed to get hibernation working (see recent posts about Secure Boot getting in the way), I tried to fall back to suspending the system overnight. That works of course.
What doesn't work is waking it up automatically. If the RTC can wake the system from hibernation, why can't it wake it from suspension? I don't want to have to be in front of the system to wake it up.
I have used WOL with Fedora Workstation by LAN when I didn't want to go outside to wake-up a suspended box in an outbuilding during sa storm.
Wireless WOL (WWOL) is a recent innovation, so may not be supported on older hardware. Some Fedora systems have issues with WiFI when waking from suspend by keyboard, so I wouldn't expect WWOL to work for those.
My system has a wired connection, so that shouldn't be an issue.
