https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D218579 --- Comment #64 from Keve Nagy <freebsd.bug@nagykeve.e4ward.com> --- No problem. To clarify, I was not talking about crashes either. You mention= ed that after a successful WOL, when you shut your computer down, it did not s= tay powered off, instead moments later it automatically started. That is an automated start-up you did not expect. In other words, unexpected. Again, I experienced no such phenomena. When I issued a "shutdown -p", my t= est computers always powered down properly and always stayed off. Regardless of= how they were started up in advance, manually by their power button or woken by magic packet. To further clarify, they also properly powered down and stayed turned off i= f I sent WOL magic packets to them while they were on, even if it was moments before "shutdown". However, I did not test the particular case when a WOL magic packet is sent= to the computer WHILE it is already in the process of shutting down. None of my tests were performed on -STABLE or -CURRENT branch. I only teste= d on -RELEASE. The experience now was the same on 13.3R and 14.0R. With my previ= ous set of tests, WOL only woke the computer if it was shut down from a bge-pac= hed 13.2R kernel, and did not wake it when it was shut down from a bge-patched 14.0R. In that sense, the latest patches are better. My problem was that the bge-based computer could not be woken up once it was powered down. With these patches, they wake up exactly as expected, on 13.3R and on 14.0R too. So the problem I had, is now fixed. I don't really care t= hat WOL_MAGIC is automatically enabled and that I do not need to run an "ifconf= ig bge0 wol". The em0 in my Optiplex does exactly the same. I would call THIS = the expected behaviour. Others may disagree. I can do more tests in May, if needed. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
