I have an 3com 3c905C card which supports wake on lan. This system has = all the right pieces in place i.e. PCI 2.2, Bios has wake on PME enable, etc. I've used these = cards for years at work=20 and have tested this system by throwing in M$ XP (no flames please) and = sending it a WOL=20 Packet waking the system up with success. However, in my dealings with FreeBSD 5.3. I've have a system with a live = nic (flashing lights)=20 but no response to the wol Magic Packet. After doing a little research I found that WOL via a Magic Packet = requires the nic driver to=20 "program the PowerMgmtEvent register to enable the desired wake up = event" during a power down.=20 Not being a C programmer I'm lost in the if_xl.c source. I suspect one of two problems. Either the xl driver doesn't support the = wol options or=20 something is amiss during the shutdown process and ACPI is to blame. If = anyone could offer=20 some advice on how to troubleshoot this issue I would appreciate it. =20
