After upgrading from ethtool 1:3.8-1 to ethtool 1:3.9-1 Wake
on Lan has stopped working.
I send the magic packet from another pc and nothing happens. I tried compiling the new version (1:3.9-1) from source and it works. Downgrading from 1:3.9-1 to 1:3.8-1 also fixes the problem. |
This task depends upon
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
I first reported it here because I compiled it from source and installed in one of my home subdirectories and created a link in /usr/sbin/ and had no problems.
If I compile and install it in /usr/sbin it stops working.
The Wake on Lan setting has to be updated at every boot so I created a systemd service with this:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ethtool -s %i wol g
When updating to ethtool 1:3.9-1 pacman installs it in /usr/bin/ and not in /usr/sbin/ so the service fails and Wake on Lan stops working.
I updated the service file and now everything is working fine.
