Comment 1 Christian Gnägi 2006-08-04 02:27:07 UTC 
Debian wakeonlan contains a patch from Timo Weingärtner which allows it to be used like 'wakeonlan yourhost' or 'wakeonlan 192.168.0.8' so you dont have to remember hardware addresses. It does this by evaluating /etc/ethers. Small change, big win.

The original debian bug and patch is here: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=296825

The current debian source (original and patched) and changelog is here:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/wakeonlan

I would be very happy to see the change in gentoo.
Thanks.
