Hey everybody,
I have a problem with my FreeNAS system at home. I installed the FreeNAS 9.1.1-RELEASE (64-Bit) Disk-Image on a USB Disk.
At first, everything worked fine with the installation and configuration.
But to get a bit further I want to use WOL (Wake on LAN).
I'm using the ASUS H87i-Plus with an i217 NIC (which should support WOL).
I already setup all what is needed in the bios (or well... I guess I did setup everything that is needed) ;).
The problem now is. When my system gets up my "em0" does not support WOL.
If I run the command "ifconfig -m em0" the following is shown:
em0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=40098<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,VLAN_HWTSO>
capabilities=5019b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,VLAN_HWFILTER,VLAN_HWTSO>
ether ac:22:0b:4d:be:e4
inet 192.168.0.200 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
inet6 fe80::ae22:bff:fe4d:bee4%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
status: active
supported media:
media autoselect
media 1000baseT
media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex
media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
media 100baseTX
media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
media 10baseT/UTP
There is no WOL under options, which should be there, if it is supported.
My first guess was that the em0 drivers are maybe outdated.
The version for em driver in FreeNAS 9.1.1 is 7.3.7 (as far as I could see in the FreeBSD source folder "FreeBSD/src/sys/dev/e1000/if_em.c" em_driver_version[] = "7.3.7" when I try to build the v9.1.1 by myself)
The latest driver from Intel is v7.3.8, but does not have a significant difference to the v7.3.7 driver.
So in my opinion WOL should work as well on the v7.3.7 driver.
To tryout the WOL functions I found a how-to where it is said to use "shutdown -p now" to shutdown the FreeNAS. And after that the system should come up when sending a WOL Magic Packet.
My question now is. Can anybody tell me, if he already could use WOL with the somehow new NIC i217?
Or has anyone an idea of what I maybe did wrong?
Thanks for any help,
Greetings,
