start Opnsense via WOL

[s4rs]

I have a mini PC (Partaker i5) that I use as a backup router. My goal is to fire this up via WOL if the main router fails. The other issue I have with this system is it won't power on after a power outage thus the need for WOL.

The problem I have. If I do a normal Opnsense shutdown WOL fails. If I remove power then add power, WOL works. If I boot a live Linux version a shutdown then WOL works. It seems like Opnsense is disabling WOL.

My ifconifg -m which shows wol_magic. Any ideas??

Check my solution for this topic. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238411

From my perspective it's not an OPNsense issue, it's a FreeBSD issue (I call it bug). With my own adapted & compiled network driver WOL is working like a charm.

Thanks for the update. I suspected it was a FreeBSD issue and hope the Opnsense maintainers will implement the fix until FreeBSD does.
