My next step is to test out the wakeup of the device. Is there any utility available that I can use to send magic packets to the device within a private network with IP - 172.30.144.192 to test waking up this device??Naaz...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06049397985061199787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988432060681510848.post-74179561899284902112014-03-24T08:58:40.760-05:002014-03-24T08:58:40.760-05:00I have Intel 7260 WiFi adapter and WoWOLAN works o...I have Intel 7260 WiFi adapter and WoWOLAN works only in S3 state.

With intel 6230 card it works in suspend mode<br /><br />In redhat 6.3 with kernel 3.6.11, I can manage with the iw comand updated with 3.7 version, but it does´nt work supposedly because the system has problems with the ifcfg80211 module that crashes because the kernel doesn´t work<br /><br />Do you know if with this atheros card can works with wowlan?¿<br /><br />Sorry for my horrible english but could be worse, I am from Spain .<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988432060681510848.post-1098193260194471282013-03-30T15:59:36.899-05:002013-03-30T15:59:36.899-05:00I agree with Andrew that scheduling the WOL negate...I agree with Andrew that scheduling the WOL negates the argument. And even if scheduling wouldn't be possible I would still have a bunch of things to attend to while the computers start-up in the morning. I don't sip coffee waiting at loading screens when I'm at work. It's called multitasking :)Vincent Charettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09352885542182710360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988432060681510848.post-33376082377781693952013-03-28T16:19:01.272-05:002013-03-28T16:19:01.272-05:00Salaried employees are not paid by the minute or h...Salaried employees are not paid by the minute or hour, but based on successfully completing their responsibilities. I don't think you can claim such a soft-cost of lost productivity. Electricity on the other hand is a hard-cost that actually affects the cash flow of a company. <br /><br />Regardless, power management on workstations can be scheduled to wake the device back up prior to office workers coming back in for work in the morning. This negates your argument in my opinion.Andrew von Nagyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658799453646609565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988432060681510848.post-2316060587935976922013-03-07T03:12:33.357-06:002013-03-07T03:12:33.357-06:00A very large downfall to this technology is startu...A very large downfall to this technology is startup time.

I always put my Windows PC to hibernate before I leave every day. This is what I have found for OS patching and hibernate: PC should download the patches during the office hours then install them at the scheduled time(usually 2am) even it is in hibernate state. Then it reboots to finish the installation by itself. Then when I arrive the next morning, I would notice the PC is ON. After I log in, it tells me the Windows updates have been installed. So this process does not bother me at all. zhenninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01549095969829766029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988432060681510848.post-56797037361731202612011-09-16T09:33:20.236-05:002011-09-16T09:33:20.236-05:00I suspect the reason that the laptop must be conne...I suspect the reason that the laptop must be connected to an AC source is to prevent startup when the laptop is not in a suitable environment. ie it is not in a laptop bag where it would overheat etc. Battery life I doubt is the issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988432060681510848.post-89877888861868068662011-09-07T15:48:17.888-05:002011-09-07T15:48:17.888-05:00Hi Chris,

An example of this is the Cisco WLC performing ARP Proxy and DHCP Relay for clients, thus preventing the need for broadcast traffic to be sent to the clients over the air. Unless additional applications need broadcast or multicast enabled, it is disabled by default.<br /><br />You can read more on this capability in the <a href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Mobility/emob41dg/ch2_Arch.html#wp1028269" rel="nofollow">Cisco Enterprise Mobility 4.1 Design Guide - Chapter 2</a><br /><br />Cheers,<br />AndrewAndrew von Nagyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658799453646609565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988432060681510848.post-53203470547597779552011-09-07T08:30:36.892-05:002011-09-07T08:30:36.892-05:00"Newer enterprise class wireless networks typ..."Newer enterprise class wireless networks typically have advanced features that filter broadcast frames by default to improve performance of the network."<br /><br />Could you please elaborate?

Currently working as the tech admin at a large local high school in Finland and have got WoL already implemented. Ran into a wall concerning WoWLAN due to a lack of Intel network adapters on the laptops.
