Hello,
recently got a Mellanox Connectx-4 Lx EN to work with and I want to find a way to enable WOL. According to this spec-sheet provided by NVIDIA it should support WOL out of the box but it seems my card is missing the configuration option of WOL.
What exactly could be the reason for this and is there any way to enable it again?
The card is used on Windows 11 23H2. Most options I could find to enable WOL require ethtool a UNIX utility that is available for Windows. The WinOF-2 docs also sadly don’t mention a way of achieving this. Older forum post go mostly without a proper answer, so I would like to reopen this issue anew with up to date information.
Could it be that the option is only available through Linux?
