wake on lan on PowerEdge T110
Hello,
I cannot make Wake On Lan work on PowerEdge T110 (BIOS Version 1.3.4).
So far I did the following:
1) At boot time, I set up the following option in the Boot Agent (BroadCom NetExtreme v12.4.4) for the network card (Broadcom BCM 5722):
- Boot Protocol: PXE
- Pre-boot Wakw On Lan: Enable
2) In the OS installed (Arch Linux), I installed the ethtool package and enabled the wake on lan option with the following command:
ethtool eth0 -s wol g
where 'g' should wake the network card with the magic packet.
No other modifications were done on the bios with respect to default values.
However, when trying to wake up the machine from any well-tested wake-on-lan clients, this does not work and the machine stays powered off. Any ideas about why?
Thank you so much.

I just bought one of these T110 puppies, and not everything works as I'd like (specifically, SANS Digital RAID arrays and the associated PCIe port-multiplier card), but wake-on-lan ... it worked without a hitch. I'm -very- surprised, as I tried this -just- -now-.
I'm running Ubuntu Linux, and I just followed the instructions in http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/pe2950/en/engbrief/wol.pdf, and it just worked. I used the "wakeonlan" program from another Linux box, ran it with the MAC address of my T110 as argument, and that was all.
Perhaps ... just wondering ... you could get an Ubuntu CD and boot off of that, and see if you can get WOL working that way? Just to rule out that it's the distro?

Go into BIOS
Change Network Card to Enable PXE Boot.
eg under Integrated Devices
Mouse down to Embedded Gb NIC1 and press right arrow
You should now be able to press CTRL + S at boot time and enter the broadcom setup screen
Enable WOL by changing Pre-boot Wake On Lan to enable
save with F4 and reboot
Go back into BIOS and check your boot order eg change USB or HDD to boot up 1st if your not booting from PXE
save and reboot
note you might have to turn the power off then back on again, and sometimes change settings a couple of times before it sticks
Hope it Helps
