Re: debian and wol on Buffalo Linkstation WXL
sorry.. the original message is a bit fuzzy.. I forgot to put it in
plain text: this is the clean version:
I have an old Buffalo Linkstation Duo (WXL), that now I would like to
use as a backup for my new NAS
I've bumped into RogerShimizu's presentation at
https://miniconf.debian.or.jp/assets/files/Debian%20Installer%20for%20Buffalo%20Linkstation%20NAS.pdf,
in order to update a bit the system with a fresh new debian install; I
followed it and I now have a running Debian system , but:
ￜￜ --ￜￜￜ the only way to shutdown the unit is to put the physical
button in the off position, otherwise both poweroff and shutdown
commands lead to a reboot of the unit
ￜￜ -- ￜￜ wakeonlan is not available:
ￜￜￜￜￜￜￜ ethtool responds "Supports Wake-on: d", and trying to set it
ends in:ￜ "Cannot set new wake-on-lan settings: Operation not supported"

obviously with the original buffalo firmware, it worked!
I've tried, under Roger's suggestion, to add "marvell" to
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules, but nothing changed: it seems that the NIC
is not enable for wakeonlaￜ (even if it was, of course)
now I'm wondering if it could be a driver issue, and if is there any
other module that can be used instead of the mv643xx_eth

and now I'm stuck here... My idea to use this old unit as a
"semi-remote" (in the same LAN)backup of the new NAS doesn't work, if
I'm not able to switch it off and on when neededl
any suggestion?
thanks in advance
Rosanna
