+define Package/wakeonlan/description
+	With this package you can remotely wake up and power on machines which have
+	motherboards or network cards that support 'Wake-on-Lan' packets.
+	.
+	The tool allows you to wake up a single machine, or a group of machines.
+	.
+	You need the MAC addresses of machines to construct the WOL packets, but,
+	in contrast to 'etherwake', you do not need root privileges to use the
+	program itself as UDP packets are used.
