wol is in the old packages.  See https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=52219.

It is not in the current package anymore.  To have it in CC, you would have to compile it yourself, or find somebody that can do it for you.

thank you very much

If anybody has got it working, how did you compiled it? What are the commands to do this?

p.s. I can't find any feeds.conf file on my system. Anybody knows where it is stored?

Hi...I'm new to open wrt
I allso updated to cc15.05 and facing the same problem. I cant figured out to get etherwake working...back in BB wol is working just fine (etherwake also not working...I cant make it work).
Maybe wol doesnt need maintenence ...its always working for me...

I hope someone kind enough to compile wol on 15.05

Hi,
I'm running CC 15.05.1 without any etherwake probs.

This is my code:

/usr/bin/etherwake -D -i "br-lan" "14:56:78:ab:ad:8c"

How does yours look like?

take wol ipk from old packages and install it. great chances it will work in CC. won't work in DD

I revert back to 14.07 now...wol working just fine.
/usr/bin/etherwake -D -i "br-lan" "xxxxxxxxxxx" << doesnt wake my PC..
using the same script on tcl and it works...
I give up and revert back to 14.07 and install wol

thanks

FYI wol works fine in 15.05.1

If a packages is missing in a release  you dont need to reflash !
Take ipk from a version where package is present and install it with opkg install <filename>.
Most likely it will work.
But remember of libc change in DD.  CC- and DD+ are not compatible
