Hi, I have a 4-processor machine but I want to configure FreeBSD-4.0 to only use 1 of the processors for some tests. In addition I want the local APIC to be enabled. It seems currently that the APIC is only enabled when the kernel is compiled with the SMP option. However, when I spec

I've not looked at ether-wake, but I use the attached program to wake up machines. It's not very fancy, but it does work for me. The limitation that an ARP entry for the destination machine is somewhat annoying, but not insurmountable. As you can see, it uses UDP packets instead of constructing ra
