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
fdisk implementation
Hi all, just a quick sidenote... while I decided to finally play around with hammer I had to fiddle around with dragonfly's fdisk implementation and I think it is a mess! The menu driven mode is horrible, and absolutely not self explaining. We should definitely adapt the OpenBSD or newer FreeBSD version. Is there any reason there could occur bigger problems with this ? Otherwise I'm actually willing to try to port it over during my semester break, because I really believe it is necessary to do this. If there is any special super mode I missed about the fdisk we are using right now just let me know!

Re: New site design
Pushing this forward again as we are close to the 2.0 release. Regardless of the specific design issues and wether or we like the changes of content I believe that it was commonly agreed on the fact that the download dragonfly button is a very good idea. I therefore suppose that we at least add that one to the site as the release is announced! As you are expecting a lot of users willing to try Dfly it should be worth while!

If there's no show-stopping objections, I'd like to move the dragonflybsd.org site to this. -- Jost Tobias Springenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you plan to send me any personal or sensitive information please use GnuPG!

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, my mainboard supports it, but by searching around on the web, a lot a people have problems with getting it working (including me). Regards, Michael

If the BIOS supports waking off PCI LAN cards you can pick one up for the cost of a sandwich. 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. -- Dmitri Nikulin Centre for Synchrotron Science Monash University Victoria 3800, Australia
