MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 21:33:18 +0100 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Alert on LAN seems to have some useful functionality, if I understand things correctly they have enhanced Wake-on-LAN to allow you to do things like reset the machine, update the BIOS and such by sending magic packets which are interpreted by the network card. Or maybe I am reading too much into this: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/desktop/alertonlan/ Anyway, my eepro100 cards say they are Alert on LAN capable, it would be very useful to be able to use this reboot a Linux box remotely: 02:09.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) Subsystem: Intel Corporation EtherExpress PRO/100+ Management Adapter with Alert On LAN* Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 11 Memory at 40200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] I/O ports at 1400 [size=64] Memory at 40100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Expansion ROM at [disabled] [size=1M] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 Does anybody know anything about Alert on LAN and whether it does what I think it does? -- - Terje malmedal@usit.uio.no - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
