From: Don Olique on 23 Oct 2008 08:56 Paul, Thanks for that info. I am just starting too peek into that area, so your posting was heavens sent. I looked in the settings for the WiFi on my P5Q3, but did not find any WOL settings there. Do you know if WOL is possible on the WiFi? tia Don Olique Paul <nospam(a)needed.com> wrote: >Alboon wrote: >> Hi folks. >> >> Could someone tell me precisely what is to be enabled in the BIOS or >> anywhere else to use the WOL function on a P5Q ? >> I use a "freebox" (a modem provided by a french internet provider, which >> transmits TV, DSL and phone trough the ethernet plug), which is also >> configured as a router. >> >> Is it power on by PCIE device, or PCI device, or external modems, that i >> have to enable ?

It would be quite complex. At least one USB based Wifi device I looked at, seemed to have an intelligent MAC layer, and firmware. So with its own processor inside, more things are possible. "Wake-On-Wireless" is mentioned here, for example. So it is not completely discounted. It could happen... http://www.atheros.com/news/wifiplanet.html You'd have to know what chipset is used on your adapter, to even begin the process of determining the actual feature set. The Wifi would have to be powered by +5VSB, so that the radios would be powered up when the computer was sleeping. The motherboard BIOS has an "Energy Star 4.0c Support" [Disabled] as a default, which presumably allows the motherboard to use +5VSB when sleeping. The MAC chip might be on one side of the adapter, and the radio on the other side. You'd take the part number off the MAC, and start searching. To further complicate issues, the same MAC chip can be used with different firmware loads, and the product number changes as a function of its intended purpose. Even if you enumerated via some USB utility like UVCView, there is no guarantee the first level enumeration, would identify it in detail. Some of the Wifi devices, have to be probed further down, to determine what you've got. The Linux guys have a better handle on this, since they have to write so many drivers. Perhaps booting some Linux distro, like a LiveCD, would allow you to learn more. I don't have any Wifi here, so haven't tried any experiments. Paul

There are some settings for the APM configuration that confuse me. When i move to the "Energy Star 4.0C Support", there is a pop-up message to the right saying: S3 Resume: PS2&USB sleep/wakeup function will not be supported S4/S5 Resume: Marvell LAN, PS2&USB Devices sleep/wakeup function will not be supported The problem is that I cannot find these (S3, S4, S5) settings anywhere so I don't know their position. Are there hidden settings here? tia Don Olique |
