Post by: Phil on July 28, 2025, 06:23:58 PM

More data would be nice: worked or did not work on 25.1, which NIC driver, etc?


Cheers,
Franco

Hi thx for the answer, it was working on 25.1, the pc is HP Compaq with Dual core E5300, the NIC is Intel onboard chip Intel(R) 82579LM.
How could i check the NIC driver version?

Best regards

Hello, I noticed that if I shut down OpenSense using the normal manual procedure or cron, I cannot turn it on remotely. However, after a power outage, I can turn it on remotely.
As said before it was working in 25.1 (and before)
So it is definitely a problem with 25.7 (I have the same problem on both of my OpenSense devices, both of which are running 25.7).

Hope you'll can fix it fastly

Best regards

Just to dampen expectations Im quite sure there are not a lot of people who turn on and off a router all the time via WOL. It might be simpler to hook it to some smart power plug now.
