OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
I'm back. BTW, I really hate this forum's password rule. Make thing unnecessarily complex.
I haven't got chance to get my script yet. But here are a few points.
1. forntview do save the settings and also it does make the necessary change to the Ethernet device. But this still doesn't work. I will explain later.
2. I guess PRO & ULTRA has the same problem. So I believe the workaround works on both
3. Manually set the flag on eth0 device will work, but only work when it was set shortly before shutdown
4. That make me suspect something wrong with the ethernet kernel driver/module as it routinely stuff up the WOL on lower level which the device still reports WOL enabled.
5. My solution is create a dummy service make system to stop it right before shutdown. It that service, it will reenable WOL when existing. That's best way I can find to enable WOL right before power off.
The service is very simple as only one line of code is doing the real job. The rest is just copied from the service template somewhere in /etc. I will try find it if I can find some time at home.
