I have a WOL enabled motherboard and WOL enabled NIC, (Intel 82559 based )<br />
<br />
I have the netcat program, running on linux server, and the WOL nic installed on another machine of course these two are networked.<br />
<br />
My question is:<br />
<br />
What kind of data should I send from the linux server to the WOL NIC so that it powers up the machine.<br />
<br />
netcat is a nice tool because it can be called from shell scripts, but if netcat is not able to send such a datagram, another linux tool will be welcomed :)<br />

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
