 ====== Wake-on-LAN ======
 ==== What is WOL? ====
-Wake-On-LAN (WOL) is a standardized procedure to wake up a computer over the network. A special broadcast frame called "Magic Packet" is sent to the network card, whereupon the startup process is triggered.

+==== How to get the MAC address of a PC ====
-We recommend the popular freeware tool "WakeonLan2" (WOL2) with support for Windows and Linux.
+<WRAP tip 60%>
+MAC = (Media Access Control) address\\ Example of a MAC address:  ''00:00:00:a1:2b:cc''
+</WRAP>
+=== Windows ===
+How to find the MAC address of a network card in Windows.
+  - Press the Windows Start key to open the Start screen.
+  - Type ''cmd'' and press Enter to launch the command prompt.
+  - Type ''ipconfig /all'' at the command prompt to check the network card settings.
+  - The MAC address and IP address are listed under the appropriate adapter as Physical Address and IPv4 Address.
+=== Linux ===
+Finding the MAC address varies across the different Linux/Unix operating systems.
+  - In many systems, the following command will return the MAC address: ''ifconfig -a''
+  - From the displayed information, find the correct ethernet adapter and locate the number next to the ''HWaddr''. This is your MAC address.
