WOL can't wake up OPNsense

[Phil]

Hi since the update i can't wake up OPNsense by lan (it was working before), is it the same for you?
Must i check an option somewhere?

Best regards

If someone could answer/help should be great

More data would be nice: worked or did not work on 25.1, which NIC driver, etc?


Cheers,

Hi thx for the answer, it was working on 25.1, the pc is HP Compaq with Dual core E5300, the NIC is Intel onboard chip Intel(R) 82579LM.
How could i check the NIC driver version?

Best regards

Hello, I noticed that if I shut down OpenSense using the normal manual procedure or cron, I cannot turn it on remotely. However, after a power outage, I can turn it on remotely.
As said before it was working in 25.1 (and before)
So it is definitely a problem with 25.7 (I have the same problem on both of my OpenSense devices, both of which are running 25.7).

Hope you'll can fix it fastly

Best regards

Just to dampen expectations Im quite sure there are not a lot of people who turn on and off a router all the time via WOL. It might be simpler to hook it to some smart power plug now.

Hi ok found driver version
root@OPNsense:~ # sysctl -a | grep -E 'dev.(igb|ix|em).*.%desc:'
dev.em.0.%desc: Intel(R) 82567LM-3 ICH10

Thx for the smart power plug idea but isn't it easy to fix it for you?
I should happy to avoid this solution for now

PS: I'm a newbee in FreeBSD, I found this link:

In step 02 is it normal i get this:
root@OPNsense:~ # grep -l IFCAP_WOL /usr/src/sys/dev/*/*.c
grep: No match.
