How exactly is one meant to "wake from LAN".
One uses Magic Packets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN
To do this, first install a wol client on another machine to broadcast the wakeup: # yum -y install wol
Then read about the options: http://linux.die.net/man/1/wol
Then one wakes the target machine...
