S3 seems to be the best option. in freebsd, my into pro100s work without any other intervention (aside from setting S3 in the bios, IBM machines), but i have one IBM with a dual port pro1000, and its not waking properly right now (but i havent troubleshot that one any, as its my server and never turns off anyway). cheers, -- Jonathan Horne http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org freebsd@dfwlp.com
