wake on lan (debian)

My ip35-e has debian squeeze on it and I have configured ethertool and as far as i know its working but my machine will not wake over lan, any tips please?

Assuming WOL is turned 'on' on the ip35-e (from the bios) then you should be able to use ethtool/WOL/script from another machine to send a magic packet to the MAC address of the ip35-e to wake it up.

Check if your network card has wol configured

root@media:~# ethtool eth0 | grep Wake
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: g
