I've quickly solved the problem with a really raw wachdog script as y... 12 Oct 2005 04:26

Wake On LAN
Hello, when I shutdown a PC running SuSE Linux 10.0 it won't start by wWake Nn LAN afterwards. It seems not to be a hardware problem since the same PC works with WOL as expected if I shut it down from Windows XP or eComStation 1.2 before.
