Yeah that was my assumption. But I hadn't considered WOL being broadcast, so now I'm not so sure. I would assume it's broadcast on both IP and Ethernet layer. It's time to do some wiresharking :)

    I don't think WoL works over IP. In my mind it's lower (LAN, e.g. ethernet) level. But if it used IP, you'd need to get ARP going before it routes. An "offline" network chip could probably manage that, though.

    I'm curious to know what you find. Wireshark is always fun and fun and enlightening. :)
