I just noticed my 7.2-R i386 PC-Engines ALIX2 board with vr devices show up (WOL_UCAST,WOL_MAGIC) in the ifconfig listing. Seems they're making some of it available in 7.2-RELEASE I'll have to test/try this out, I'm glad I'm starting to see it happen. Unfortunately we're pretty much stuck

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

Long story short: Wake-on-LAN requires OS/NIC driver support. The OS puts the NIC in a mode at shutdown that allows Wake-on-LAN to work. FreeBSD has no Wake-on-LAN driver support, hence, no host running FreeBSD has Wake-on-LAN capabilities. I'm shocked that the Intel NICs don't have
