Click to expand.Thought so. Okay, so practically feasible is out. Is it.technically. feasible to create a WOL-equivalent on a wireless connection? Could you have a teeny tiny circuit 1 that looked out for a specific piece of data to be broadcast and if it spotted it, closed a circuit to wake the machine up? I don't know enough about wireless data transmission to know how much computing power you need to interpret a given set of wireless signals (never mind bringing encryption into it). But I'm interested in learning.z- 1 eats less electricity if it's small.
Install the wakeonlan package using Homebrew: $ brew install wakeonlan (It's a Perl script for waking up computers via Wake-On-LAN magic packets.) When installed, you can send a 'magic packet' from your Terminal to any device using its IP (Internet Protocol) and MAC (Media Access Control) address. How would I setup wake on LAN to work over the Internet(specifically a wake on LAN app on my iPhone over 3G) the app works fine and wakes up my mac mini when I'm on my wifi. I use a time capsule for my router.
