Description-en: remotely wake a napping system
PowerWake is a generic mechanism for remotely waking systems. It is
intended to support wake-on-lan, ipmi, and other remote waking mechanisms.
Currently, wake-on-lan is the only supported mechanism. It also includes
some handy caching of MAC addresses, such that systems can be awakened by
hostname or ip address, in addition to MAC address.
