NitroPC 1 (mini PC): Support Wake-On-LAN

[paulmenzel]

Our NitroPC with the shipped firmware does not start, when sending a WOL packet. How can this be enabled?

Do you refer to NitroPC 1, the mini PC, or NitroPC Pro, the tower?

The mini PC NitroPC 1.

Good question, in theory it might work as ethtool reports:

Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: d

So far I remember d means disabled, so at least this is consistent with your observations.
And g is "magic packet" which might work, if activated.
Did you try activating it using ethtool like that:

ethtool -s eth0 wol g

Thank you for your comments. I tried exactly that almost two years ago in December 2021, and it did not work.

No idea, what I did wrong, but trying it again today, it worked (Linux 5.15.131.mx64.457).

After the restart, the flag is set to d again though. It’d be great to be able to configure that in the firmware.
