[MacTUG] MacBook Ventura "Waking for network access" with dongle ethernet

[Marlon A Griffith]

Sorry Glenn,

I can't directly answer your question.

I do have an observation from a long time ago: wake on lan didn't work 
for desktop macs either. I gave up on using it more than 10 yrs ago.

Having said that I don't know if newer versions of macos had solved the 
issue.
