I've started to configure wake on lan on my Ubuntu 20.04. Turns out it doesn't working yet. First, I've followed this tutorial: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-enable-wake-on-lan-in-ubuntu-server-18-04/

So, when I run sudo systemctl is-enabled wol.service I get enabled.

But, when I run ethtool <my_iface> I get (at the end of the list):

Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: Operation not permitted
    Current message level: 0x00000033 (51)
                   drv probe ifdown ifup
    Link detected: yes

My driver is r8169 and the firmware version is rtl8411-1_0.0.3 06/18/12

Any ideias? Thx.

Did you run the ethtool command as root? If not, use sudo.

Actually, running the specific command "ethtool <my_iface>" with sudo, i get a different status at "wake-on" parameter, but the same error code:

Wake-on: g
