Comment(by gnu):

 Rumor on IRC is that wad wants a way to wake up every XO "without having
 to preload the ARP table" (due to this bug, sending a broadcast ping
 doesn't work).  Instead, use multicast to the "all IPv6 nodes" link-level
 multicast address:

   ping6 -I msh0 ff02::1

 That should wake all nodes on the mesh out of suspend.  (I'm not sure how
 the mesh implements bcast/multicast on the three meshes on three different
 channels.)
