ether-wake / Wake On Lan setup

[Darren Wyn Rees <merlin@netlink.co.uk>]

I am using Donald Becker's ether-wake v.1.03 with some 3COM 905 
NICs, however I am  unable to 'wake' any machines.

I send the magic packet using the correct MAC address :

debian:~/ether-wake-1.03.orig# ./etherwake -D -b 00:50:DA:34:61:23
Command line stations address is 00:50:da:34:61:23.
Packet is  ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 50 da 34 61 23 08 42 ff ff ff ff ff ff
00 50 da
34 61 23 00 50 da 34 61 23 00 50 da 34 61 23 00 50 da 34 61 23 00 50 da
34 61 23 00 50 da 34 61 23 00 50 da 34 61 23 00 50 da 34 61 23 00 50 da
34 61 23 00 50 da 34 61 23 00 50 da 34 61 23 00 50 da 34 61 23 00 50 da
34 61 23 00 50 da 34 61
23 00 50 da 34 61 23 00 50 da 34 61 23.
Sendto worked ! 116.

Looking at the LAN switch I can see activity.   Looking at the NIC
on the box to be woken, I can see link activity... but no wakey, wakey.

I have tried using two different motherboards, and read through the
motherboard manuals to double check everything is configured properly.

Useful comments and suggestions much appreciated.
