Andres, Yes your understanding of my script is correct and your example is spot on.
Explained another way, there are three computers involved in the process. There is the requester who is ARPing for the sleeping machine, there is the sleeping machine, which will not wake to ARP requests, and there is the sniffer, which is a third machine on the network that is awake and listening for ARP traffic on behalf sleeper and will send the magic packet (which will wake the sleeper) when it promiscuously hears the ARP request go out from the requester. -Jim -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737479 Title: powerwake enhancement, monitor ARP requests for sleeping machines and send magic packets -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
