Hi all,

Does someone succeed to wake up a machine running
NetBSD from the network ?

I own an old HP Vectra VL 6 (P-II 233 Mhz) using a
network card 3Com 3c905B-Tx having an HP's RPO/RWU
connector. This machine runs under NetBSD 3.1

Despite the fact the network card seems to be active
(the corresponding LED on my HUB is on even when the
machine is down), I'm not able the wake up it by
sending 'WoL' frames.

Old HP documentation about this machine said WoL works
only when the machine running windows95 or NT, but not
OS/2 or other OSes. I read also on some forums that
the OS needs to support some specials ACPI features
when shuting down the machine.

So ... does someone succeeded to wake up from Lan a
machine running NetBSD ?

Thanks 

Laurent

PS: my backup solution should be to use my Sun Ultra 5
but I don't know if it's "alarm wakup" (programmed
wakeup time) is supported by NetBSD.
