I have Thinkpad T420 with arch linux installed on it. I use the laptop as home server and i want to be able to wake the laptop on lan from suspended state. Wake on Lan is enabled in bios and also if i check if laptop supports wake on lan it shows that it supports it:

I am sending the magic packets from my working laptop with mx linux. Both laptops are connected to my wireless home network, but there is also direct ethernet cable connection between them. I am sending the packets with this command:

Code:sudo etherwake mac-addressIt executes the command without error message but Thinkpad laptop won't wake from suspended state.

Any idea why waking on lan is not working?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=-rfWbjxK3WA:oNuPXkpRahg:F7zBnMy latest?i=-rfWbjxK3WA:oNuPXkpRahg:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=-rfWbjxK3WA:oNuPXkpRahg:gIN9vFw
