Enable Wake-On-LAN in current Fedora

[Sergio Pascual]

I was wondering what is the "correct" way of enabling WOL on a network card.

This Arch document [1] describes several methods (which basically are
different methods on running "ethtool -s eth0 wol g").

* run ethtool in udev
* run a cron on reboot
* run a systemd unit

This Fedora bug [2] suggests that you can make NetworkManager run a script
in
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d

And finally you can use good old /etc/rc.d/rc.local and put there the
ethtool command.

Notice that all of this requires editing files, there isn't a check box
somewhere in the NetworkManager GUI to enable this option, for example.


Regards, Sergio
