Hi,
ether-wake has this option :
-p <pw>         Append the four or six byte password PW to the packet.
                        A password is only required for a few adapter types.
                        The password may be specified in ethernet hex format
                        or dotted decimal (Internet address)   

But I could not find any mentioning of this password in the config
programs (pci-config, vortex-diag, mii-diag). I have got a 3Com 905C
"Tornado" network card. WOL works without a password, but can it be
set ?? I don't like the idea of everyone being able to
power up my computer at any time...just trusted people given the
password would be fine.
 thanks
Roland
