I have not been able to get ether-wake to work waking up other CentOS 7.6 machines after the upgrade to CentOS 7.6. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so any luck with a fix?

Everyone,
I have not been able to get ether-wake to work waking up other CentOS 7.6 machines after the upgrade to CentOS 7.6. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so any luck with a fix?

we have no problem with ether-wake under CentOS 7.6 . Has been working for us as under earlier versions.
Years ago, we had to replace some RHEL-provided ethernet driver modules with ElRepo-provided ones for WOL to work. So check out ElRepo for newer drivers for your cards.
HTH,
Kay
Can you be more specific about the hardware?
I have a setup of DELL desktop, DELL Server SuperMicro Server and couple other devices. I am using from a cgi script the next on one server to wake the other:
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/ether-wake “XY::XY” -b && echo 1
All of my servers have Intel PRO 1Gbit ethernet nics(2,4,1.. ports per machine).
To make the Desktop wakeup I had to do the next:
– Reset the bios settings to default
– Reconfigure the bios to allow remote wake up
– Disable couple Power related special sleep settings(on the desktop)
– Make sure that the switch can handle 10Mbps connection (since most of these nics stay at low power and low speed waiting for WOL packets).
Works for me on at-least three machines with CentOS 7.6
