>Description:
after upgrading from FreeBSD 7.1 to 7.2 the computer doesn't wake up by receiving magic packets anymore. 
Setting up "legacy WOL" in the NIC's BIOS didn't solve the problem. Trying to set up WOL manually using
ifconfig doesn't help (the WOL flag doesn't show up either):

--
# ifconfig fxp0 wol
# ifconfig fxp0 
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	options=8<VLAN_MTU>
	ether 00:08:02:11:36:86
--

Starting up the computer and shutting it down by pressing the power-switch before booting into FreeBSD lets the computer wake up by magic packets for the next time but once booting into FreeBSD it refuses again... 


dmesg-information about the NIC: 

--
fxp0: <Intel 82801BA/CAM (ICH2/3) Pro/100 Ethernet> port 0x1000-0x103f mem 0xfe200000-0xfe200fff irq 20 at device 8.0 on pci2
miibus0: <MII bus> on fxp0
inphy0: <i82562EM 10/100 media interface> PHY 1 on miibus0
inphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
fxp0: Ethernet address: 00:08:02:11:36:86
fxp0: [ITHREAD]

>How-To-Repeat:
- Boot into FreeBSD

- Optionally try:  
# ifconfig fxp0 wol

- Shut down: 
# halt -p 

- Try to wake up from a different machine using WOL.
