Netplan WOL Enabler Script

This script generates a YAML configuration file within the Netplan abstraction layer to enable Wake-on-LAN (WOL) functionality on Linux-based systems.

Features

The script performs the following tasks:

• Detects and selects the active wired network interface.
• Assigns a custom interface name (can be modified within the script or left as the default).
• Enables Wake-on-LAN (WOL) on the selected network adapter.
• Configures the interface to use DHCP for IP assignment.

Usage

1. Copy the script to the /etc/netplan/ directory:

   sudo cp enable-wol.sh /etc/netplan/

2. Make the script executable:

   sudo chmod +x /etc/netplan/enable-wol.sh

3. Run the script with root privileges:

   sudo /etc/netplan/enable-wol.sh

4. Reboot the system
