My laptop has the fxp chipset onboard (a Fujitsu E6575) appears to
work flawlessly with wake-on-lan enabled in the bios.

I might add as an aside that FreeBSD running on the Fujitsu E series
is very sweet at this point.  APM, in particular suspend/unsuspend
work perfectly as does DVD and sound support.  Only the included modem
doesn't appear to work.  I should also comment that XFree86-3 doesn't
support the display where XFree86-4.1 does.

Dave.
