Wake-on values

There are 2 trigger activities that are not mentioned on the wiki page, these are 's' (MagicPacket+password) and 'f' (Wake on filters). Example hardware where these are available is the Raspberry Pi 4B.

It might also be useful to have a short description for each option (including preexisting ones), and furhther down describing these more in detail, how they can be used and common pitfalls.
If preffered I may do these additions, but I'm not much informed on this topic.

Information I've found on 'wake on filters': https://lkml.kernel.org/netdev/20180809180402.19430-3-f.fainelli@gmail.com/ This information is probably not enough for extending the article, though.

Troubleshooting

in section 5 troubleshooting it might be worth adding to check the website of the manufacturer for me i was running a r8169 driver for a realtek r8125 chipset once i installed the driver from realtek's website the basic steps worked.

basically they just provide a folder with a autorun.sh script to make and install the mentioned module

around the gigabyte realtek section something like

if other methods fail check https://www.realtek.com/en/products/connected-media-ics website search pick your particular device eg 2.5 gigabit run the command

lspci | grep Ethernet

to confirm what device you have and download the apropriate driver for your device/chipset

then run the command tar -xvjf for bz2 or tar -xvzf to extract the files from within the tar archive

then cd into the extracted folder and run sudo sh autorun.sh to run the install script

if the lines load module "your module"

completed

appear then it has completed successfully


(Module is the driver for your particular device)

and the driver should be installed run modinfo "your module name" to confirm

your output should contain something like this /kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8125.ko.zst

reboot your system and run nmcli con show again to confirm the device is showing as expected


that may be a bit much but it should contain whats needed for the average user

Please don't suggest manually installing kernel modules, this will break in too many cases. From a quick search it seems there's r8125-dkmsAUR.
Could you check (e.g. like what's been done in Wake-on-LAN#alx driver support) if the support for WoL is simply missing in the kernel or if it has been voluntarily disabled?
A generalization from your case could be added, explaining that for hardware that is not yet fully supported by an in-tree kernel module, installing the dedicated kernel module (and using your chipset as an example) will should enable the desired functionality.
