Question PC always loses network connection after being turned on or waking from sleep mode ? Question No internet after startup and when resuming from sleep Question When PC wakes up from sleep, the internet speed is limited to a lower speed ? Question Canon printer loses IP connection after going in to deep sleep ? Question "The realtek network controller was not found, if deep sleep mode is enabled, please plug the cable" ? I'm also open to any other suggestions on getting this thing to turn on after a power failure! The laptop in question is in a remote location and I'm only there about once a month, so while I'll probably have to try it to be sure, I'm interested in your thoughts before I next have the opportunity (and before buying a USB NIC that doesn't do me any good, even though they're cheap enough). But I'm wondering if I get a USB NIC, if it could draw power this way and trigger a startup on WOL. It's meant for charging peripherals, as you can tell from the name. This laptop supports Toshiba Sleep and Charge, which can provide power to USB devices even when the laptop is off. I'm guessing that after a shutdown on battery, power to the NIC is completely cut and it doesn't get restored until the next boot.
It works nicely after a shutdown as long as the AC is still connected, but in the event of a power outage, the onboard NIC no longer responds to WOL, even after AC power is restored. The BIOS doesn't support automatic power-on, but wake-on-LAN would be fine for me. I have an old Toshiba C55Dt laptop running centos, being used in an embedded application where it needs to be always on. Yes this is another WOL question, but with a twist.
