 The Wake-On-LAN is **not handled by the U-Boot code** (like in the LaCie d2 Network). When the power switch is onto the ON position, the U-Boot always begins the boot process spinning-on the disk, during the boot process a script checks if the Deep Sleep Mode is active, in that case it halts the disk and wait for the Magic Packet. The Wake-On-LAN is **not handled by the U-Boot code** (like in the LaCie d2 Network).

 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.
