Dockstar and Wake-on-lan (WOL)

Hi,

Is Wake-on-lan (WOL) supported by the ethernet card in Dockstar ?
What about USB-WIFI plugged in Dockstar - does is support WOL ?

Regards,
Adam.

I don't think the Dockstar can be turned off. It just halts. There is no power-saving mode from which WOL could wake it up again. At best the Dockstar could turn off power to the USB and Ethernet before halting the processor. Dockstars use less power under load than many PCs in soft power-off mode. You can send WOL packets to other devices though.
