    How to enable WOL in Suse 10.2

    Hi everyone. I have a dual boot with windows xp and suse 10.2. If I start windows and then shut it down, I can wake up the pc from another pc in the same network which has only suse 10.2 with ether-wake command. However If I start suse on first machine and then shut it down the regular way, I can not wake it up again via ether-wake from another pc. So the question is, how to enable the wol in the suse 10.2. Any help welcome. Thanks.

    I found a solution, if anyone will need it. You have to add "ethtool -s eth0 wol g" in /etc/init.d/boot.local in order to enable wol at every startup. Simple and ti works.
