Aw: Re: Re: Edubuntu 12.04 LTSP - Shutdown and wake on LAN problems with Zotac ZBox

[d.davolio at mastertraining.it]

Hi X,
we worked a bit with WOL time ago and we had to run the command "ethtool 
-s ethX wol g" every time the Desktop boot up (rc script). This worked 
for us but we weren't in an LTSP environment.

I'd like to test it anyway, can you point me to some documentation on 
how to implement WOL with Epoptes?

Thanks!
Davo
