Intel Pro PT 1000 (HP NC360T) Dual Nic WOL

[paddy01]

Hi,

I've just installed the above in the PCIe x16 slot in my HP N54L Microserver, working fine for throughput and LACP etc. which was the primary aim (always liked Intel NIC's).

I had hoped that WOL would work as the onboard NIC (bge0) doesn't under FreeNas as yet (work in progress I believe). Unfortunately it doesn't.

ifconfig certainly shows WOL_MAGIC supported on both em1 and em0 however it doesn't wake when commanded. There have been several bugs raised and subsequently closed / resolved for this on similar intel NIC's following upgrade to 9.2.x.x

Can anyone shed any light on whether this is being looked at for a future release before I add a bug to the tracker?

I'm on latest release 9.2.1.5 (x64).

Not a big deal over all but would be nice to power it up without dangling over the back of the couch :)

Kind regards,

Paddy

There's several threads in the forum on this topic and I believe there's a ticket or two. It's not a high priority for us because FreeNAS/TrueNAS is engineered with the expectation that it will be an always-on appliance. It does internal things at night, it runs scrubs and SMART tests etc. Some you can reschedule, some you can't.
