<div>Hello -</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I checked for the ethtool but it is not installed. I was able to find the *.rpm for YDL 5-1 (ethtool 3-1) and YDL 6-1 (ethtool 5-1) but not for the YDL 4.0.1 that I have installed. Is there any place I can find the version for that or will a newer one work?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>

<br>*"Wake for network administrative access"*<br><br>Also known as "Wake-on-LAN," this allows network administrators and<br>certain applications to wake the computer from sleep by sending it a<br>special type of network packet.<br>

* iBook (all models)<br> * iMac (Early 2001) or later<br><br><br>It appears that if your G5 should have support for WoL. Surprisingly<br>even my PowerMac G4 'Mystic' supposedly supports it.<br><br>As for powering up the machine using the WoL "magic" packet in linux, it<br>
appears that a utility called ethtool can throw a flag to your NIC to<br>enable WoL. More info on that here:<br><br><a href="http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202174" target="_blank">http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202174</a><br>
<br>However when I use wakeonlan on my PowerMac G4, with the option to wake<br>from LAN set in System Preferences, it does not power on or wake from<br>sleep. This may or may not be due to the fact that the original power<br>
supply died and has been replaced by an ATX one.<br><br>At this point in time I cannot find any nvram command to set this to<br>work indefinitely. I'm also hearing mixed reports of success/failure on<br>Macs. It seems that waking from sleep using WoL works 100% of the time,<br>
but your mileage will vary when it comes to actually powering on the<br>machine from the off-state.<br><br>Best of luck.<br><br>-Hal<br>
