I'm a newbie to these lists, and can't seem to find any definite info on

WOL under linux.

1) Is this feature available under Linux (RedHat 6.2 is what we are
running)?
2) If so, what cards support this? ( I have seen preliminary indications

from last year's mailing list for vortex)
3) What software is required for setting the WOL modes/ or power states
?(I have read conflicting things about hard/soft powerdowns, the default

states the linux creates via the "shutdown -h " command, etc.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I am currently trying to find out about the status of WOL under
linux. Assuming the correct powersupply and motherboard is used, does
WOL work under Linux (RedHat 6.2) with any of the 3com cards? I have
browsed many mailing lists, and have seen mentions of problems with
frezzes and locks, but no real indication of what the current status is.
I am building a system (I believe the current motherboard is an ASUS
PVM-55 pentium board w/ WOL support.

Sincerely,
doug Irvine
