Yes, as I mentioned in my original mail, that works fine for me too:
when the machine is powered off (as in your case with `halt -p`), I
can wake up the machine just fine with WoL.

My challenge is waking the machine with WoL after suspending it
through `zzz`. To that end, as has been pointed out by a few people
on the list, you'd have to put 'wol' in the relevant hostname.if(5)
file (see the ifconfig manpage for details). But, since the driver
for Intel gigabit network cards (em(4)) doesn't support this option,
it doesn't work.
Cheers,
Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
