Hi, I am using powercfg command to turn the wake on magic packet (WOL) on the network card on all our Windows 7 PCs.
powercfg -deviceenblewake "driver name"
I can see both in Dos (powercfg -devicequery wake_armed) and Windows (device manager - network card - power management) that the NIC changes. (Wake on magic packet changes to ticked for all my "Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection" PCs.)
However, on PCs with the "Intel(R) 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection", I can enable and disable in DOS, but it never changes in Windows (and therefore WOL won't work).
I am using the latest driver from Intel (21-06-2012) Version 11.16.87.0
(p.s. if I remove all drivers, and run the default 2008 version, the powercfg command does change the setting in windows.
I am unable to use that driver, as it causes network drop-outs)
I've been searching for a while, tried different drivers and settings, but all to no avail.
Has anyone experienced same, and found a solution? Or is there a registry setting I can use to set the NIC value?
Thanks in advance
Rene'
