 The Wake-On-LAN is **not handled by the U-Boot code** (like in the LaCie d2 Network). When the power switch is onto the ON position, the U-Boot always begins the boot process spinning-on the disk, during the boot process a script checks if the Deep Sleep Mode is active, in that case it halts the disk and wait for the Magic Packet.
+If you install a plain Debian operating system, you can use the **[[#fake_wake-on-lan|Fake Wake-On-LAN]]** software to simulate a Wake-On-LAN.

-==== Fake Wake-on-LAN ====
+===== Fake Wake-on-LAN =====
+The Ethernet chip does not have WoL capabilities (whereas the old d2 Network does), so we can only simulate it. This is my first attempt to make a software Wake-on-LAN.

+At an early stage of the boot process the **''fake-on-lan''** program suspends the USB power, turn off the blue LED and suspend the disk. Then the program waits for a Wake-on-LAN Magic Packet or for a Power Button press/release before to proceed. The device is effectively powered-on and running the Linux kernel, just the USB, the LED and the disk are turned off. I'm running the program with a **Debian Squeeze** installation.

+===== The EEPROM =====
-This is the TODO list:
+The content of the EEPROM is exposed for read and write via the pseudo file **''/sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0050/eeprom''**, like with the previous d2 Network model, but the meaning is changed. This is what I know:
-  * Turn off USB power too.
+^ Offset  ^ Length  ^ Content  ^
-  * Wake on power button keypress too.
+|       0 |       2 | 0x00 0x02              |
-  * Modify the standard halt sequence so it becomes a reboot followed by fake-on-lan, mybe using the relevant EEPROM bit.
+|       2 |       6 | Ethernet MAC address.  |
