            Bug ID: 218579
           Summary: Wake on Lan doesn't work for bge NIC driver
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: pozzugno at gmail.com

I use Nas4Free on HP ProLiant MicroServer. Nas4Free is based on FreeBSD and I
and some other people have a problem that is related to the bge NIC driver
included in the last FreeBSD kernel.

We can't use Wake On Lan feature, even if it is enabled in BIOS. It is an issue
with FreeBSD, because we can use WOL with other OS (such as Linux) on the same
hw.

Someone noticed the WOL feature works if the NIC is connected to a Gigabit
Ethernet, but not if the link is 100Mbps. Unfortunately I can't test Gigabit on
my system.

Someone says older Nas4Free versions worked, for example that based on FreeBSD
9.2.

You can read much more details on a specific thread present on Nas4Free forum,
here (https://www.nas4free.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=4756&start=30).
