On various internet sources I've found controversial information: some complaints that when Mac is sleeping it goes to hybernation, meaning you can't WakeOnLan a sleeping Mac. However none of the Linux apps I tried worked: neither wakeonlan perl script (that sends broadcast UDP messages), nor etherwake (that sends raw MAC frames). My goal is to wake a sleeping MacBook with a Magic WakeOnLan packet, sent from a Linux machine. There is a Linux machine with an ethernet connection to the same router - they are in same LAN segment. Just in case, In "System preferences > Energy Saver" I have set "Wake for Wi-Fi network access" checkbox. The MacBook is connected to power source and with an Ethernet cable to a router. I have a MacBook Pro 2018 running Catalina with a USB-to-Ethernet Dongle.
