Hello,
according to some other posts in the forum, there is a bug in certain Nvidia Ethernet chipsets which cause the Mac address to be stored in reverse. This seems to be the case for example in my MSI Media Live. Consequently, wake on lan only works if you you send the reversed MAC address, otherwise the computer ignores it and does not turn on. Consequently, in my 0710, WOL does not work for the MSI Media Live.
I was wondering if anyone figured out an easy fix for this? I assume it's not as simple as changing the Mac address in the Media Director settings in the web admin, as LMCE would not longer recognize the device properly while it's turned on.
One solution could be to edit the code, and whenever LMCE send a wake on lan packet, have it also send the same packet with reversed MAC address, as I don't think could cause much harm in the 95% of cases where it's useless. I'll be happy to do that if someone could point out where the code for WOL is located (in which binary). Unless there is some other easier solution?
Thank you.
Jean
