But most drivers in Linux disable WOL per default (on the NIC). It's a 
common problem: WOL works if I boot into Windows then shutdown. When I 
shutdown from Linux the PC doesn't wake up. Only a few drivers in Linux 
2.4.x (vanilla) provide a kernel option like enable_wol=1, usually 
you need a kernel patch (if you can find one).

Are there similar problems on FreeBSD?

Thanks,

wake-on-lan support?

2003-10-31 Thread Alexander Mayer 
Hi,

is wake-on-lan possible on a PC running FreeBSD? I want to boot my 
FreeBSD-PC with wake-on-lan. In Linux there is a problem with many 
drivers because they disable wake-on-lan. Only a few drivers give the 
possibility to enable this feature. What about FreeBSD?

Alex
