The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Plus functions very similarly between a dc7900 and a

dc5850. However, there is one important difference iregarding remote wake and Power-On Password

behavior.

A remote shutdown into a sleep state, S3 - S5, and subsequent remote wake of the dc5850 will bypass

the Power-On Password as the system resumes from the sleep state. This is the expected behavior.

In the case of the dc7900, there is a hardware limitation that does not report the remote wake and wakes

the system as a localized wake. Therefore, the BIOS reacts to the wake event as a localized wake and

does not bypass the Power-On Password.

The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Plus has driver support for Windows XP and Windows Vista.

For Windows XP, use driver version 10.85.0.0 or newer.

For Windows Vista, use driver version 10.100.0.0 or newer.
