I've tried various experiments with the wol command to try to wake up one of

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.

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

Search the archives. The question of Wake-on-LAN has been around for a
while. I typically res
I also use wake-on-lan to turn on my laptop from my nat box when i leave it
home, i have a 3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL (the xl driver) and works fine,
the only thing that i setup to make it work was my bios: turn on the
'Wake-On-Lan' option.

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

Hi,
Wake-On-Lan (WOL) is something that has next to nothing to do with the

card connected to the board, so it
