Description Peter 2006-03-29 19:40:16 UTC 
With this patch one can use ping to wake up Wake-on-lan clients. Commands like this becomes possible:
ping -c 1 -s 204 -p FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566112233445566 Broadcast_IP

Mac address from unpowered machines can be fixed with (if you want to avoid broadcast):
arp -S 1.2.3.4 11:22:33:44:55:66
