Suppose i put a net device in wake-on-lan status.
There is some kernel function that notifies presence
of a wake packet ?
This is not how wake-on-lan works.
When your computer is put to sleep (via APM or ACPI),
the network card can listen for the wake packets.
If it is listening and a wakeup packet is received, your computer
wakes up from sleep state.
All of this happens in the hardware, all Linux can do is
enable/disable the feature.
