How can I enable wol on Ubuntu server 16.04?

Question

I have followed instructions from Ubuntu wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WakeOnLan) with no result.

Worth to note that my NIC is enp0s7 and not eth0, so I replaced eth0 with enp0s7.

At sudo ethtool enp0s7 | grep -i wake I get:

Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: g

Also at /etc/network/interfaces I put this

auto enp0s7
iface enp0s7 inet static
        address 192.168.1.3
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
        up ethtool -s enp0s7 wol g

Edit your post to include the output of sudo ethtool enp0s7 | grep -i wake — muru, May 27 '16 at 02:47

This worked for me on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

How to enable Wake On Lan (WOL) in Ubuntu 16.04

In my case /etc/default/tlp was empty, so I just edited /etc/default/halt and /etc/network/interfaces.

Finally I found it. The problem was on the BIOS.
