I can't get into this topic right now, and I can't find a good reference (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN does not really fit with what we do). Powerd's code and README are perhaps a good read if you want to understand this topic. > erikos reckons that the patch won't do much [2] I agree that his patch is not enough, but I'm not convinced of his argument that it's almost useless...
