Hello,

I don't know if having multiple packages doing the same is OK or not.
Nor do I know if there are differences between this "wol" and the
already packaged "wakelan"...

I initially put it in networking whereas wakelen is in admin...

Anyways, I did the work, I tested it works by waking a suspended
odroidn2 SBC with it...

So here it is, tell me if it is redundant to the point of not being useful.

FTR, I packaged this because my initial guix search was with the words
wol and wakeonlan, which did not find anything relevant, whereas
searching with "wake" would have found it...

There are a few packages with WoL capability:

etherwake,
http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/jpo/software/wakeonlan/

you can do it with netcat, etc...

Sorry for taking a while to respond on this, but I pushed your patch as
commit 62b9ad19e3a6638f8e077753454fdf08ba586146 with two changes:
Firstly, I removed the @code tag as you suggested. Secondly, I removed
the references to `name' in the URL, since, as the contributing
guidelines suggest, the URL likely won't be valid if the name gets
changed.

Cheers!
