Henties Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 @allI am unable to get WOL working on my Alder Lake based hack using a GA-Z790 D DDR4 mobo (Bios F 11) and an Intel Core i7-127000KF CPU. Initially I tried to get WOL working using the onboard NIC in combination with @Mieze's Version 1.2.2 LucyRTL8125Ethernet.kext, but without success. Then I pulled a DGE-560T NIC, from a Comet Lake hack, where WOL is working with that card, and installed it, together with it's RealtekRTL8111.kext, also by @Mieze, into the Alder Lake hack. Again I cannot get WOL working with hardware that works very well under Comet Lake, including WOL. I now believe that I am overlooking some setting in Bios that would enable WOL on this mobo, but cannot find a likely candidate that could perhaps solve the WOL problem I am experiencing with the Alder Lake hack. I already disabled ERP in Bios in order that the NIC receives a least some power while the hack is sleeping so that it can monitor network traffic for magic WOL packets meant for itself, but also that did not help solving the problem. Any suggestion to get WOL working on this Alder Lake hack are therefore appreciated and most welcome.

LockDown Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 You need to enable WOL in the code and recompile it on those kext mentioned Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/361072-how-to-enable-wol-on-ga-z790-d-ddr4-mobo-bios-f-11-and-an-intel-core-i7-127000kf-cpu/#findComment-2832423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henties Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 (edited) @LockDownthanks for your input but I nevertheless have a slight problems with your feedback. I find it problematic to have "to enable WOL in the code and recompile it" because the RealtekRTL8111.kext, in combination with the NIC used, is indeed working perfectly on a Comet Lake hack of mine. Recompiling something that works, to make it work, therefore makes no real sense, to me at least, or am I perhaps overlooking something ?

Henties Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 @LockDownNot really with you on your latest comment. In the interim I got WOL working on my Alder Lake rig with the borrowed type DGE-560T NIC and it's RealtekRTL8111.kext by just updating the Bios on Alder Lake from F11 --> F13a. The borrowed NIC has now become a permanent feature. Still got a few a spare ones in my "treasure chest" Will look at the onboard NIC at a later stage when time actually permits. Trying to fathom out what other have accomplished with @MiezeLucyRTL8125Ethernet.kext during July 2022 seems rather time wasting because in the interim @Mieze has updated and improved the kext quite considerably, it is presently at version 1.2.2, being the version I am using. I always configure all my desktops with 2 NICs so that I can use one NIC exclusively for my "local" network needs, such as audio distribution via DANTE devices and also local WOL enabled access to the machines I am running which are quit distant from one another. Will provide feedback once I have gotten around to get WOL working with the onboard NIC as well.
