[K12OSN] Remote poweron with WakeOnLAN

[Angus Carr]

I've been experimenting with power management and flipping terminals on 
automatically at opening time and shutting them off at closing time.

Most of my terminals, however, do not do this properly. They all report 
in the BIOS that they support it.

As far as I can tell from reading mailing lists, this has to do with 
some property set in the card by the Linux network card driver.

If I flip off the machine with the power switch, I can use Wakeonlan to 
power it up. If I use ltspinfo to turn it off, it doesn't work. No reponse.

 From reading, I see that ethtool is the appropriate tool to set the 
property in question, but it's not installed on K12LTSP by default.

The web page that specifies this stuff is (for example)
http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:kKqkt345JV4J:wiki.debian.net/%3Faction%3Drevisions%26page_name%3DWakeOnLan%26revision_id%3D-1+ethtool+wakeonlan&hl=en&gl=ca&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=firefox-a
or
http://ahh.sourceforge.net/wol/faq.html

Has anyone done anything with this? I'm looking at changing my 
modules.conf, and maybe adding to the terminal environment. Am I missing 
anything?
