I activated WOL in BIOS (i checked twice) and added 

dev.igb.0.wake=1
dev.em.0.wake=1

in /etc/sysctl.conf. Then i ran

ifconfig igb0 wol
ifconfig em0  wol

And tried different things with and without reboots. Nothing worked. Is there
something else i could have missed? 


Is it possible, that it is not a hardware / hardware-version specific problem?
In https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208343 WOL-flags do not
show up, although everything is configured correctly. 

Perhaps the ASRock Rack C236 WSI has newer Intel NICs and the freebsd driver
does not support WOL on these specific device versions. I think i checked all
possible settings and as i remember WOL was working on Linux (although i'm not
100% sure here, its been a while...)


If you need any debug output or if i should re-check, wether WOL is working on
linux, just ask - should not be too much effort to boot a linux usb stick...

I also could provide a screenshot of BIOS settings, if it helps, but I'm 100%
sure, WOL is enabled here.
