E2200 Killer Ethernet driver for Linux with Wakeup-On-Lan WOL

[neowt]

Hi,
I have managed to get my Asrock Fatal1ty H85 Killer based PC to wakeup on LAN WOL in Windows 8.1. Therefore the BIOS has been configured correctly.

Then I installed Ubuntu 14.04.2LTS. I found from using ethtool that the ethernet card driver in Linux does not not support WOL, it reports my E2200 does not have WOL entry. So running "sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g" gives error. And as certainly, the LAN link light turns off when PC is shut down (the link light remains on when Windows 8.1 installed)

Does anyone know how to get WOL working in Linux for Killer E2200 LAN cards?

Thanks in advance.

Neo

Better to discuss this on a linux forum, e.g linuxquestions.org or ubuntu.com.
What is the error you get?
What is the output of ifconfig and lspci?

Here's the output. I have included ethtool as well. Tks for the help.

This looks like a permission problem. See this:
wakeonlan - WOL stops working after booting Ubuntu - Ask Ubuntu

No good. Tried all combinations in that link.

sudo passwd root
ethtool -s eth0 wol g
<code>sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g</code>
<code>sudo -s <code>ethtool -s eth0 wol g
etc

</code></code>I still get the error:
"Cannot get current wake-on-lan settings: Operation not supported
not setting wol"

At your previous post, the error was "Operation not permitted", while at this post it is "Operation not supported"!
I assume the former is correct.

I explain more what said on that link, because I guess you haven't got its point:

Ubuntu has a random root password, but gives administrative privileges to a normal user (in /etc/sudoers) by which he can change this password by this command:
sudo passwd root
If you are not root but can run the above command successfully, your user is one of administrators.

After setting a root password, do one of these:

1- Type `su -l' or simply `su -', give your root password, and you should see a rooted command prompt. At this command line execute your command i.e. ethtool eth1. Use exit to return.

2- Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or F2,... up to F6), then login as root and execute your command. Use Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to graphical mode.

3- Login as root directly when linux starts, which is not recommended for normal use of computer, then execute your command.

Excuse me if I didn't correctly understand your post.
