You may be able to use that code at least to get headway in creating drivers, if you can't use those existing drivers.

In some cases (depending on the NIC and the BIOS) WOL works even without OS support. It might be worth testing before you do anything else. I've tried various experiments with the wol command to try to wake up one of our boxes with no luck. We're using the stock nVidia driver. There is also no mention of wake-on-LAN in the BIOS, although there is an option for enabling wake-on-ring (something different). I've sent an email to our suppliers to see what they have to say about wake-on-LAN support for these boxes.

Re: wake-on-lan support? (WOL)
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 Now as opposed to WakeOnLan however, must be enabled by the driver because the NIC uses a packet mask with user configured contents to wake up, which can't be set in the BIOS. I think the main reason for the lack of support is that this technology isn't very useful from a server perspective, and is intended more for managing desktops and embedded systems, rather than the 24x7 uptime tasks that FreeBSD is normally employed for.

Re: wake-on-lan support? (WOL)
Hi, Alexander Kühn wrote: powered down. You need to enable it in the PC bios and for some NICs also in the NIC's BIOS as well (e.g. RTL 8139) using a NIC specific tool 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?

wake-on-lan support?
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?
