You may need to turn WoL on in the BIOS, have a look in the same
place as the LAN boot settings.

I guess I assumed that, since the WoL works with my Intel Pro/100 NIC,
that the APCI and wake-up settings in the BIOS were set correctly. It
is only when I try the Pro/1000 that I'm having problems; and it seems
to be a driver or config issue.

I think you are out of luck as yet. according to
http://wiki.freebsd.org/WakeOnLan
grep -l IFCAP_WOL /usr/src/sys/dev/*/*.c
should get a list of drivers that support WOL.

The Pro/1000 driver is if_em (or if_igb) So i think you are out of luck
on 7.x
Vince is correct, the e1000 (if_em/igb) driver does not support WOL, yet.
Chris
Yes, but I'm trying to use Intel's driver at this point (since the stock
7.2R em driver, as stated, does not support WoL yet):
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=1938&OSFullName=FreeBSD*&lang=eng&strOSs=52&submit=Go!
And it does appear to offer support for WoL. They (Intel) have
functions in their if_em.c source file that sets up the WoL. However,
there is no IFCAP_WOL define in Intel's code, so maybe it does not
interface with ifconfig correctly at this point? I don't know. I was
hoping to get some pointers on where to look or how to tell. Also, I'm
not opposed to adding the WoL support - I'm not too bad in C - I've just
never written a FreeBSD device driver and the excellent post by Stefan
Sperling (referenced from the WoL wiki) seems to be too far out of date.
The wiki itself states: "Note that the obsolete ioctl-based
configuration approach is discussed there, but ifcaps should be used
instead."
So, not knowing anything about either ioctl-based or ifcaps config, I
can't find any resources on how to get started in the right direction
(hence my post to hackers).
Also, if Intel's driver code works, it seems to me that it makes more
sense to use their code for em devices, no? Is there a copyright
problem with that?
