About 2 hours.

Thanks.

I guess the wiki would be more appropriate than the main docs.

Maybe we should add a wiki page about wake on lan?
Reading http://wiki.freebsd.org/AboutWiki it seems that if
I created an account there and someone added me to the
ContributorsGroup for a new WakeOnLan page I would be good to go.

Another place I could add it to is the wake on lan PR, which is at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/83807

Anyway, it's not lost in any case, because it's in the archives,
and at least I know about it and can always link people there if
they want to read it (or if they ask me to add support for
their card, heheh).
