Re: Laptop starts back up on its own
It must be a APM issue. (power management) Many computers now have the ability to turn on at a specific time, etc. The setting is usually found in the bios. In some cases, its possible to control this behavior with software. Do you have APM enabled in your kernel? (i doubt its freebsd though) For example, I can tell my iMac to turn on M-F at 8:00 AM. (its really that specific) My PC has similar functionality although not as precise.

Thanks- I have an older Compaq Deskpro that does the same thing. I first thought that maybe rogue or spurious packets on the network were causing Wake-on-LAN to activate, but 1) it's turned off in the BIOS 2) I don't think the card actually supports it 3) the machine turned on once with the network cable unplugged. I don't think it's either APM or ACPI causing it either since I have both disabled in FreeBSD and power management is turned off in the BIOS. I also don't know at this point if it's a FreeBSD issue or not since I only use the machine periodically for testing and haven't had any other OS on it long enough to trigger the automatic power-on. My friend has a few identical machines and also runs FreeBSD on them, but he leaves them on all the time so he's never seen the problem. Let me know if anything turns up!
