WOL Asus H87i-Plus

[Morrio]

Hi,

unfortunately I've been having problems to get WOL working on my motherboard Asus H87i Plus. Under 'Lan-> Managment' there is no option "WOL" (example WOL_Magic set). The option (ie WOL general) is not present.

Also when I run the command 'ifconfig em0-m' there is no WOL Magic shown.

According to the manual for the motherboard I have only activate 'Power on by PCE' in BIOS, what I have done, of course. Unfortunately that does not work as far.

When browsing the net I found more useres with this problems (with the same motherboard). Unfortunately, no one has found a solution so far.

greeting

PS: I use Nas4Free 9.2 p2

Hmm ok,

all INTEL NIC have superb support on BSD. (excep really new ones of course).

Try INTEL Pro one: http://www.alternate.es/Intel%28R%29/In ... ct/141448/?

Thanks for your response.

Just two small question.

Is it relally neccessary to buy a Server Adapter? Is a desktop adapter not sufficient?
And is a support of i217 planned in the near future?

Not necessay but recomended, keep in mind that if you are spending money to have a good NIC, this are from server world, of course one realtek NIC can do the job, but not as good as INTEL one.
