a major drawback of the Linksys extenders dma 2200, the non-exist-to be a wake on lan firmware within the existing features. what use power-saving plans for a Vista Media Server [vmc] when the extender is not in a position to rest from his awakening. while this was with the X-box 360 already taken into account initially, the developer of firmware-linksys [cisco] have already resigned, because the device is already for more than 2 years on the market available.
was my contribution to this problem, a pragmatic. I more nslu2-devices have come on stream, it was hardly a challenge to implement an appropriate demon that accurately reflects this desired feature. a very simple logic, which was developed in a perl-script. should
the actual script there are simply here to download [click on graphic!] perl script [wol2.txt] be renamed to [wol2.pl]
boot the extender it gets from the DHCP server a fixed IP address assigned. Once this address in my lan access [check from nslu2 / net:: ping] is just a small linux device sends the wake on lan to the media server. dannach can comfortably in the menu of the extenders das windows media center aufgerufen werden und die kommunikation funktioniert.
ein ‚status’-semaphore verhindert das erneute senden eines wol requestes.
:) enjoy
