      Does anyone know of a way to enter a list of Wake On Lan interface/MAC address/Description entries other than one-at-a-time via the webgui form? I need to set up WOL for a couple of systems, and I've realized the PITA level is pretty high for hand entry. Not to mention that one of these will soon be upgrading all their hardware, so it'll have to all be redone.

        A little ugly, but you could look at the config.xml backup file and add the appropriate WOL entries (enter a few through the GUI to understand the format).

        Then just restore the modified backup to get the entries loaded.

          Yep, that's what I ended up doing. And it works, but, like you said, it is pretty messy.
