## Overview

Bazzite network configuration including alternative WiFi backends, Wake-on-LAN for remote power control, and Tailscale for VPN/mesh networking.

## Quick Reference

| `ujust enable-tailscale` | Enable Tailscale service |

## WiFi Backend

### Toggle iwd

```bash
# Switch between iwd and wpa_supplicant
ujust toggle-iwd
```

**iwd (Intel Wireless Daemon):**
- Faster connection times
- Lower resource usage
- Better power efficiency
- Modern replacement for wpa_supplicant

**wpa_supplicant:**
- Default on most systems
- Broader compatibility
- Required for some enterprise networks

**After switching:** Reconnect to WiFi networks.

## Wake-on-LAN

### Toggle WOL

ujust toggle-wol enable
ujust toggle-wol disable
ujust toggle-wol force-enable
```

**Options:**
- `enable` - Enable WOL
- `disable` - Disable WOL
- `force-enable` - Force enable (overrides power settings)

### Using WOL

**On target machine:**

```bash
# Get MAC address
ip link show | grep ether
```

**From remote machine:**

```bash
# Wake the target
wakeonlan <MAC_ADDRESS>
# or
wol <MAC_ADDRESS>
```

**Requirements:**
- Wired Ethernet connection
- BIOS WOL support enabled
- Both machines on same network (or port forwarding)
