 The Ethernet chip does not have WoL capabilities (whereas the old d2 Network does), so we can only simulate it. This is my first attempt to make a software Wake-on-LAN. The Ethernet chip does not have WoL capabilities (whereas the old d2 Network does), so we can only simulate it.

-At an early stage of the boot process the **''fake-on-lan''** program suspends the USB power, turn off the blue LED and suspend the disk. Then the program waits for a Wake-on-LAN Magic Packet or for a Power Button press/release before to proceed. The device is effectively powered-on and running the Linux kernel, just the USB, the LED and the disk are turned off. I'm running the program with a Debian Squeeze installation.+At an early stage of the boot process the **''fake-on-lan''** program suspends the USB power, turn off the blue LED and suspend the disk.
