I've only used the last package - it works very nicely. eg:- wakeonlan -i 192.168.0.255 00:60:b0:a4:22:f6 NOTE: some boxes require the -i broadcast address option eg. Thinkpads, other don't. Most modern laptops/mbs with built-in NICs support it, though it generally requires enabling in the BIOS. Many older mbs support it if you have the 3-wire cable and enable the BIOS setting. If anyone knows the pinouts for the 10-wire WOL cables that come with the AMD-PCNet NICs I'd appreciate knowing the 3 used for WOL (5V+, Gnd, WOL).
