Something like
```auto
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
post-up /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g
```

Configuration needs to be done within `/etc/network/interfaces`
Creating `interfaces.d/eth0` will lead to duplicate configuration and issues.

Thanks for reply, I have just copied “Jappe” recommended eth0 file. i will remember “Joulinar” advice also to remember that i added this new file if my machine will make any problem. i always avoid to edit dietpi files so i am not daring to edit `/etc/network/interfaces` . is it not possible that make WOL enable for all devices in default by adding `post-up /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g` in dietpi default interfaces files.

Just delete `/etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0` and modify `/etc/network/interfaces` directly, or if you wanna keep the extra file then delete the rules for `eth0` from `/etc/network/interfaces`, otherwise you have multiple configs for the same interface.
You would need to set wol for every interface by its own.
