Furthermore, it scans all incoming 802.11 data frames for a MAGIC WOL pattern and - when found - propagates the wake-up call to the USB Host. Notes/Limitations: * Your host has to support USB remote wake-up. [In some cases, /proc/acpi/wakeup has to be configured as well - see Google for more details] * The MAC address is taken from the device EEPROM. [so, ifconfig dev hw ether overrides don't work (yet)] * The magic pattern has to be within the first 320 bytes of the data frame. * The magic frames has to be send unencrypted. Therefore the WOL initiator has to support frame injection [not a problem for most mac80211-based drivers]. * The initatior need to be in range and on the same channel as well.
