Documentation: WakeOnLan depdendency is not clear to users
Problem
Its not clear to users that networking.interfaces.<name>.wakeOnLan
requires systemd-networkd
Proposal
Relocate the current wakeOnLan configuration setting to a subset of systemd.network
and provide an alternative that creates a oneshot per interface to enable the policy the user specifies leveraging ethtool.
OR
- Update the documentation to state that it leverages
systemd-networkd
, for example,Whether to enable wol on this interface using systemd-networkd
. - Add a dependency on
systemd-networkd
and warn users if they usewakeOnLan
without it.
