--- Comment #22 from Abraham122x <abraham at gmx.at> ---
What I can remember of my tests for my flashless NIC:

 - Some FreeBSD 11 releases: possible to set WOL flags with ifconfig (important
is to avoid MCAST and UCAST flags, as they are triggered automatically seconds
after shutdown and boot the device)

 - FreeBSD 12/13: no chance anymore to influence the driver settings in regard
to WOL flags; the flags are set and visible in ifconfig, but they have no
effect.

Don't understand the logic that the ifconfig flags have less priority than the
ROM settings. My proposal would be to use the ROM settings as default after
boot (and set the ifconfig flags accordingly) and at shutdown the ifconfig
settings should become priority.
