Vista Magic Packets

Hi all,

I observe that WinVista sends OIDs to remove all magic packet patterns when
the network cable is unplugged from the ethernet adapter. So, if the machine
is put to S3/S4 after this, it cannot be woken up using WOL ping requests.

Can some one tell me why this was added in vista. I don’t see it in Win XP.

regards,
