Wake on WLAN

Would anyone happen to know if it's possible to configure my wireless card
to wake my laptop? I have the Intel Pro 2200BG and a Linksys WRT54G v2
router. I've spent several hours trying to find a way to set this up, with
no success.

Thanks.

Sure. Intel Proset 10 for your 2200BG card supports wake-on-lan
(magic packet). I think you have to enable it in the Proset setup.
You might want to use your ethernet LAN card for initial testing and
then deal with the wireless card. The LAN card is easier. If I PCI
card, make sure the WOL cable is installed.

Test your laptop first without the router with another computer. Note
that you cannot turn OFF the laptop with WOL, only turn it on. Use
one of the numerous utilites found on the internet such as:
http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-gui.aspx
http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-cmd.aspx

Once that is working, you can configure your router to handle WOL from
the internet with somewhat of a kludge.
1. Setup the router to always point to the same DHCP assigned IP
address for your laptop using "DHCP reservation" or "static DHCP".
2. Pick any port number (e.g. 12345) and configure port forwarding in
your router to point to your laptop's IP address.
3. Record the MAC address of your 2200BG wireles card.
4. Use this page for testing:
http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/woli.aspx
or use one of the previously mentioned WOL applications. The port
number is the number you configured in step #2 (i.e. 12345). The MAC
address is that of your 2200BG, and not the router.

Jeff,

First off, thanks so much for your detailed instructions.

Ok, I have Intel ProSet version 10.1.0.6 and I do not see any area in the
Application Settings or Adapter Settings where I can enable Wake on WLAN
(wireless). I did, however, manage to get Wake on LAN setup and working,
using wake-on-lan-cmd.aspx. I have port 7 forwarded on the router to my
laptop's IP and when I send a packet to the onboard LAN card's MAC address,
it wakes up. When I try sending the packet to the Intel PRO 2200BG MAC
address, the laptop does not wake-up. In both cases, I am sending the magic
packet via Local Subnet (192.168.1.101), as I only need to be able to wake
the laptop from within the LAN. (When I try sending the packet via Internet,
neither device will wake the laptop.)

Since my router's current firmware does not support Static DHCP, the above
was all done with typical DHCP settings. I'm going to search for a 3rd party
firmware for my WRT54G, that supports Static DHCP, and see if that makes any
difference.

If you have anything else to suggest, I'm all ears, as they say.

Thanks.

Ooops. It's listed as a feature for the Intel Pro 3945ABG, not the
2200BG. See:
| http://www.intel.com/network/connect...ess_mobile.htm
and search for "wake on wlan".

Sorry. I was wrong. No WOL support for the 2200BG.

For the WRT54G v2, I would recommend DD-WRT.
http://www.dd-wrt.com
It's a bit difficult to find the "latest" version. Despite the name,
I suggest you try the latest from "V23 SP1 beta" which is in the
2006-0415 directory.

The reserved DHCP addresses are buried under:
Administration -> Services -> DHCPd
as "static leases".

>If you have anything else to suggest, I'm all ears, as they say.

Nope. One wrong answer (per day) is bad enough. No need for me to
make it worse by offering untested suggestions.

Update: I flashed my WRT54G v2 with the DD-WRT v23 firmware, and setup
Static DHCP. Unfortunately, when I send the magic packet to the laptop's
reserved IP, with the correct MAC address, it still doesn't wake. Indeed, I
am perplexed.

Magic Packets won't get routed on the internet will they? I thought that
was part of the magic.

fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.

I have only been able to get WoL working within in my LAN. Sending packets
over the internet doesn't seem to work. AS for WoWLAN: I have not had any
luck, whatsoever. While I'm now fairly certain that the Intel Pro 2200BG
does support WoWLAN, I do not think my Inspiron 6000's mobo supports WoWLAN.

P.S. If I did not respond directly to any of you who provided answers, my
NNTP host is a big POS, and drops headers. Thanks to all who responded.

Works for me. Follow the instructions I posted and it works through
my WRT54G.
http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-gui.aspx
I use it to wake up my office desktop computah in case I need
something. The trick is to use the forwarded port number to redirect
a broadcast packet.

Obviously, you also need to be able to send the magic packet /to/ your
router. If you're behind a corporate firewall that'll require some
sweet-talking to the admins.

I use PCnet Magic Packet within my network. Sends a broadcast over
255.255.255.255
Over the internet I use a Ovislink WL-1000UR. Supports WOL on its own
(Magic pakket). Only, I have this router since a few days. I didn't had
time to get it working yet.
