Hello, I recognized that the if_em FreeBSD driver doesn't enable wol_magic by default. Recently I found out that interrupting the boot process of a ESX machine would lead to a non-ethernet-wakable server. Only after booting and shutting down the ESX(i) the server woke up as expected. Now I checked it with FreeSBD and after shutting down the server it doesn't respond to wol magic packets. One has to set `ifconfig em0 wol_magic` for example. Then it worked, although the wol feature isn't reported by the interface: em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM> Now comes the annoying part: It works only _sometimes_ Haven't found any rule yet. Maybe someone else can shade light on this mystic WOL behaviour (Jack?) Thanks in advance, -Harry
