I have setup my ubuntu laptop as my XBMC centre, however I am wanting to store it under the TV to keep it tidy, this in turn will make it a faf to get to the laptops power button.

I have already setup my laptop to be able to wake on both U and G, however For whatever reason it isn't working properly.

Is there any way to prevent the network card from shutting down when I suspend my laptop? If I can manage this then I should be able to wake it with my YATSE remote app.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Rob

  • U is Unicast and G is for Magic Packet activity. Theu are various options used by ethtool in the terminal.

  • Thanks for your reply but unfortunately this wasn't what I was after, surprisingly I haven't had any on the problems where my wifi wont work after it is suspended. The basic jist of what I was wondering is - Is it possible to tell ubuntu to still direct power to the wireless card even when it is suspended. This is so that I can power it back up using a wake on wireless lan command.

It's not possible with WiFi - suspend mode means the cpu is halted and the system uses power only to maintain the contents of RAM - or (depending on your settings) to listen on the ethernet port.

  • My WiFi just reconnects when it comes out of suspend, all by itself.
