One is to use a Wake-On-Lan Magic Packet(tm), which I have never tested, but I believe should be taken care of by the systems BIOS. Technically it is possible to have the device driver set the ACPI state level the machine should be woken up from, but I haven't investigated if it works. You probably need to have ACPI enabled for this to work. These is another feature the hardware appears to support that is generally called "OnNow" (wake on packet), which allows you to wake the machine from any arbitrary packet based on a 128byte mask. However up until now nobody has expressed any interest in either feature. How do you plan to use such a feature? Do any other device drivers support it yet?
