i have a computer that recently stopped obeying WOL packets, after i did a dual boot of freebsd/suse 10.1. before i put suse on there, WOL always 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? thanks, jonathan
