CONFIGURATION
=============

libvirt-wakeonlan listens on eth0 by default for Wake-on-lan packets, to change this, there is a configuration file for the libvirt-wakeonlan 
service ( in /etc/conf.d/ on Gentoo, /etc/sysconfig on Fedora and /etc/default on Debian ), within it is a parameter called 
"LIBVIRTDWOL_INTERFACE" which specifies the interface used.
