I've recently updated one of my machines from Ubuntu 21.10 to 22.04
without any major issues. However, it seems like my Wake-on-LAN configuration
has broken down somehow.


WoL is enabled at the BIOS/UEFI level and a systemd service is run during
boot:


[Unit]
Description=Enable Wake-up on LAN

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/sbin/ethtool -s %i wol g

[Install]
WantedBy=basic.target

Now however, this command just yields:


netlink error: Operation not supported

And even when checking with ethtool manually by running:


sudo ethtool enp4s0

There's no mention of Wake-On: anymore. Has something changed in 22.04 to the
network stack that disables WoL support? Or is there something I can do to debug
this further?

Looks like the newer kernel disables WoL on some adapters. Depending on your adapter that can be the case. See:



I have a AR8161 (Qualcomm Atheros AR816x/AR817x) and the same issue after upgrading Ubuntu from 20.04 to 22.04. You can check your adapter with sudo dmesg | grep -i ethernet.


Maybe a newer kernel will fix this or there are patches around which work.
