There is a wireless version of WoL, WoWLan. Unfortunately the documentation for it is a bit thin, and a few other people have asked in various places and not found answers yet, eg: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/wake-on-wireless-lan-wowlan-help-requested-944572/ Here is the page about it on the kernel wiki: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/documentation/wowlan Try running `iw help wowlan` to get some more clues, but this might work (I don't have a system here I can try it on, sorry): `iw phy` # to get your wireless device name `iw ${devname} wowlan enable magic-packet` Whether it's possible at all will depend on you having a wireless card that supports it, and using it will use more power than a full suspend, of course. -- Matt Wheeler http://funkyh.at -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
