  • FireTV woke up to etherwake packet -- whew!

    I needed to wake up a remove FireTV (being used for digital signage),
    which was apparently in standby, so I couldn't send it commands or
    even ping it.

    I used etherwake(8) on the tiny Linux box (on the same Wifi
    network) to wake it up.

    I didn't think it would work, but didn't have anything to loose...
    and it worked! \o/
