If the BIOS supports waking off PCI LAN cards you can pick one up for the cost of a sandwich. BIOS says it supports that. Do you have recommendations for a special card? I think the Intel Gigabit Adapter would be a good choice!? Does it work if you Suspend instead of Halting the machine? I don't know if WOL is supposed to work from Suspend but if it did, it'd work around your problem nicely. I think I tried that as well with no success. Thanks Michael
Wake on LAN
Hi, Has anybody got wake on lan (WOL) working with DragonFly? I patched if_nfe to not disable WOL, but it still doesn't seem to work. I can watch the network leds blinking while my box is off, so it's receiving those magic packets and I can also power-on the box using the keyboard. But it just doesn't wake up. Is there more involved (I read about not disabling PCI when shutting down would help or something similar, but it was Linux-related), or is it just my cheap ASUS mainboard? Regards, Michael

Usually you also have to tell the BIOS which devices to WOL on. It's just that I'd prefer not to run my home-server 24x7 to not waste too much energy (and still being able to access it remotely). In an ideal world it wouldn't be neccessary to do that as the components would save power when idle.

Well, at least not outside the corporate world where there's a benefit to being able to put hundreds or thousands of workstations into a sleep mode all at once. -Matt Bummer! It was a weird issue anyway. I wanted to be able to send the magic packet from a DragonFly box. Although, those tools from pkgsrc didn't work. Oh well, it's not a big deal. Thanks, Joey

HmmmI guess no one here uses the WOL utilities from pkgsrc? Bummer. Joseph Garcia wrote: Hello all! I'm trying to use DragonFlyBSD to wake up other machines, but so far two of the utilities I tried from pkgsrc didn't work. I hate saying this, but they do wake up when I send the magic packet from a Windows machine using either AMD's magic_pkt program or this other program called mc-wol (or something like that - I had renamed it to wol). Anyway, I tried net/wol and net/wakeup but neither worked. I was wondering if anyone can reproduce this behavior with machines on thier network. Those two programs compile fine, but they just don't seem to work for me. On a bright note, I configured my DragonFlyBSD box to WOL. Yay! Although, I have to wake it from a Windows box for now until I can figure out what's up with WOL utilities on DragonFlyBSD. Well, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Joey
