Tianocore handles EFI, but we don't need it in libreboot

Re: Booting BSD on a libreboot system - documentation needed

[William D. Jones]

Although, I'm ill-equipped to work on this, I am also curious about BSD 
support for libreboot. What is blocking EFI support?

Very cool. I for one will check it out.

If I'm not mistaken, NetBSD's bootloader doesn't yet support EFI. It
sounds like it's somewhat less jiggery-pokery than an MBR bootloader. Plus
it just uses a regular FAT32 file system. I'm sure there are difficulties
I'm not aware of, but I'm hoping for good things, soon.

wm WOL not working anymore

[Frank Kardel]

Hi !

There has be quite some work going on for wm interfaces.

When testing current kernels I found that some time after
if_wm.c:1.347 the WOL functionality has stopped working
on my ASRock 990FX Extreme 9 wm interfaces (PHYs are down
after "shutdown -p").

Compiling if_wm.c with "options WM_WOL" leads to
compilations errors (defined, but not used).

So currently I gather that WOL on wm is work in
progress - am I right ?
