wake on lan / wol with linux in IPv6-LAN (without IPv4)

[Thomas Schäfer]

Hi,

On Saturday I disabled IPv4 in my home network. ( using DNS64/NAT64 for 
external things). ( no great discussion about it, it is just a test)

But I was surprised by this problem:

wol  1C:6F:65:C9:87:46
wol: Cannot send magic packet for '1C:6F:65:C9:87:46' to 
255.255.255.255:40000: Network is unreachable

wakeonlan  1C:6F:65:C9:87:46
Sending magic packet to 255.255.255.255:9 with 1C:6F:65:C9:87:46
send : Network is unreachable at /usr/bin/wakeonlan line 83.


Does anybody know a small wol implementation for linux, usable in IPv6-LANs?
