An [Acronym] for __W__ake __O__n __L__an.
A setting that allows a machine to be powered on when a special ethernet frame is received on the network card.
+
+You will need to enable WOL in the machine's BIOS, and you will need to know the ethernet card's [MAC] address.
+
+Then, (from another machine) you can use the ether-wake package to send the special ethernet frame.
+On debian: apt-get -u install ether-wake.
+
+Then from the command line, you can do
+ $ ether-wake <macaddress>
+Or you can add an entry to /etc/ether with macaddress to hostname entries and just do
+ $ ether-wake <hostname>
+
+Simple!
