Ok,  I get that, found it before;  "typically sent as a UDP datagram to port 0, 7 or 9, or directly over Ethernet as EtherType 0x0842"

The keyword being 'typically',   but what is it that ether-wake actually uses/does?  (I need to forward a WOL packet to a different

vlan on some Cisco hardware, between two Centos machines).

Hello,
