This is similar to, but not the same as, Is wireless wake on lan possible?. I know it is supposed to be possible. The question is, how do I do whatever the AirPort Basestation will do?

All I can find so far is that supposedly I need to send something with Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WMM):

Basically, I want to be able to wake up my Mac Mini remotely, probably using my Linux laptop. Does anyone know of a tool to do this? Basic Wake on LAN tools do not seem to be the right thing. I don't need the Sleep Proxy Service bit, because I already know the MAC address of the system I want to wake up.

I've done this before with a python script that I found on the intarwebs. With this script, you'd simply put your MAC in at the bottom and you should be good to go.

    That's just for Wake on LAN. I've already found a zillion tools for that, and that does not work, unfortunately. I think this requires something that works at the level of the wireless interface, not at the IP level. –  May 29 '10 at 00:13
