Configuring Wake-on-Lan over Wi-Fi for the Asus GR8 II

They said it couldn't be done.  Setting up Wake-On-Lan over Wi-Fi.  They were wrong.

A few weeks ago I've tried setting up Wake-On-Lan on my Asus X99 based Windows 10 machine.  I tweaked the Wi-Fi driver, Windows and the BIOS but I just couldn't get it to work.  When I got my new Asus GR8 II with Ubuntu 17.10 installed I figured I give it a try. 

Fortunately, I found this great guide.  It made it look really easy.  It was.  It only took three commands!

$ iw phy0 wowlan show
WoWLAN is disabled.

$ sudo iw phy0 wowlan enable magic-packet disconnect
$ iw phy0 wowlan show
WoWLAN is enabled:
 * wake up on disconnect
 * wake up on magic packet

BTW, APM configuration was the default: ErP set to Enable(S5).

ASUS ZenPad C8

I've been using the Asus ZenPad S8 Z580CA-C1-BK  as my main tablet for the last 4 months.  It replaces my iPad Mini 2.  Simply, the S8 is a great tablet with horrible, horrible battery life.  

Its a really fast quad-core Intel-based Android tablet.  All my apps run without lag.  I have a micro SD card to store MOOC videos.  Even the bloatware is tolerable.  4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage for $299.  Fantastic!

The only serious downside is the battery life.  Under heavy use, it needs to be recharged over night.  There is no way around it.  Under similar usage my iPad Mini could last two days with out recharging. 

The only other problem is the USB 3.1 C-type connector.  The cables are really crazy expensive.  The one I bought from Monoprice cost $9.99.  Sheer robbery.
