Somewhere along the way my good and faithful WOL got lost along the way. This manifests itself in both my Skylake and Haswell hacks.
I have not used the feature for some time now but this morning, when I tried to demonstrate this feature to a friend, I discovered that WOL has awoled and deserted me. Pmset -g shows that womp (wake on magic packet is 1, in other words enabled) "Wake for network access" is also enabled in System Preferences/Energy saver, as well as in bios.
WOL used to work quite well on both machines, when invoked from a utility on my iPhone or iPad. That same utility has no problems waking the Linux servers on my network. I have tested this feature also with an Apple USB Gigabit Ethernet adaptor that uses native Apple kexts, also with that one WOL does not function.
Is this perhaps a known issue with High Sierra ? I am positive that it actually used to work in High Sierra 10.13.1 or 2, not sure anymore. In both cases, Skylake and Haswell, I have always used the onboard NIC's in manual configuration, in other words there has been no ip or mac address change. Configuration of the WOL utility on my iPad is also still consistent with the NIC parameters (ip and mac).
I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this issue.
