Tim, I know nothing about WOL on FreeBSD, but according to the wiki,

There is no mention of wake-on-LAN in the man page for ifconfig in 7.0. I'd be
interested in seeing if the 8.0 man page has added anything.

This is mostly true, but the NIC driver also needs to ensure that it
leaves this feature enabled after it has reset the hardware and set it
up to it's liking. If the driver doesn't have WOL awareness the feature
will more likely be disabled during the attach phase of loading the
driver. Using On

Hi,
Wake-On-Lan (WOL) is something that has next to nothing to do with the
installed OS. If it's a x86 PC you need a ATX power supply and board, a
network card that supports WOL, have the powerconnector of the network
card connected to the board, so it
