i have a computer that recently stopped obeying WOL packets, after i did a

worked just fine.
apparently, the linux driver for my network card, put the nic in "always off"
mode, and in order to be able to WOL later, i have to shut the linux off
in "wol g" mode (using ethtool, so it can listen for packets later). even in
freebsd now tho, its still not listening for WOL packets. is there something
in freebsd i can use to edit the behavior of the driver, to make sure the nic
powers down in "wol-listen" mode?
It looks as if it is in ifconfig in -current. I say that because after
a quick google, I see a patch in 2005.. don't know if its really in
there or not (as I run -stable). There is no mention of WOL in my
6.2-PRERELEASE man pages for ifconfig.
thanks,
jonathan
