          <p>Wake on LAN is very useful functionality if your hardware supports it. Here is a good tutorial on the steps required to enable WOL on a device. This typically needs to be enabled in the BIOS first and the steps below will enable it in Linux <a href="https://www.lifewire.com/wake-on-lan-4149800" target="_blank">https://www.lifewire.com/wake-on-lan-4149800</a></p>

<ol>
	<li>After enabling WOL in the BIOS, boot into Linux and login</li>
	<li>Run the following commands in a terminal window
	<div class="codeBlock"># install ethtool<br />
	sudo apt install ethtool -y<br />
	# list network devices<br />
	ip addr</div>
	</li>
	<li>Look for the device that has a local IP address (192.168 or 10.10)</li>
	<li>Note the device name and the MAC address for use later when sending the magic packet</li>
	<li>Continue with the following commands to check if the device supports WOL
	<div class="codeBlock"># replace eno1 with the device name to test<br />
	sudo ethtool eno1</div>
	</li>
	<li>Find the Supports Wake-on line</li>
	<li>If it contains a g it supports WOL, continue with the following commands
	<div class="codeBlock"># enable wol on the device<br />
	sudo ethtool -s eno1 wol g<br />
	# edit the network interfaces configuration<br />
	sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces</div>
	</li>
	<li>Paste the following below the iface line for the network device
	<p>ethernet-wol g</p>
	</li>
	<li>Press CTRL+O, Enter, CTRL+X to write the changes</li>
	<li>Shutdown the device</li>
	<li>Test to see if WOL is working by sending a magic packet</li>
	<li>If everything is setup correctly the device should awaken from it&#39;s slumber and boot up</li>
	<li>Log back into the device and run the following command to verify the Wake-on value has updated to g on boot
	<div class="codeBlock"># replace eno1 with the device name to test<br />
	sudo ethtool eno1</div>
	</li>
</ol>

<p><em>NOTE: If the WOL flag doesn&#39;t stick with the configuration above, replace the &quot;ethernet-wol g&quot; value in /etc/network/interfaces with &quot;post-up /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eno1 wol g&quot;, replacing eno1 with the name of the interface.</em></p>
