What are those good guides on how to set it up for Debian?
wiki.debian.org/WakeOnLan was all I needed. man ethtool is worth
reading too.
No, those etherwake packets are not IP packets, they're "raw" ethernet
packets and are hence not routable over the internet: you can only send
them from a machine on the same physical ethernet network.
I agree. But there are other tools that send the magic packet as UDP.
That
way you can send the packet to a local subnet broadcast address and
still have the machine wake up.
