Definition of Function "Link Wakeup"
On 2 different LAN cards, Properties, Advanced tab, Property list, there are
2 settings for "Link Wakeup."
We have a customer that requests an exact definition of these options. That
is, what they do.

Link Wakeup == Wake up on Lan == Bring the XP out of "stand-by" mode
(start XP where it "left off") when there is activity on the network
adapter (aka link.)
I will not make a "comment" on this request but as a Technician (????)

Re: Definition of Function "Link Wakeup"
Hi
Unfortunately there is a lot of confusion around terms like Wake Up, Wake on
LAN, Wake from Standby, and so on.
According to the straight standard there is only one mode that should be
called Wake On LAN (WOL), which is a situation when a computer is totally
Off and it wakes up through the Network with a specific piece of software
called Magic Packet. ( http://www.ezlan.net/WOL.html ).
Otherwise a computer that is still ON but in Standby (sleep) mode can be
configured to get out of the "Sleep" when there is general traffic "knocking
on the Network Card Door". This capacity to get out of "Sleep" is
unfortunately called by many names, and there No adherence to a standard. So
the two different properties might be one for real WOL, and the other to Get
out of Sleep.

Is this really same as WOL?
WOL occurs on reception on a directed or some "magic" packet.
There is another, less known options to wake when
presence of a live network connection is detected
(like the green LED on a netcard).
Maybe "link wakeup" refers to that.
