This is a neat writeup. I think the ESP32, alongside similar microcontrollers that tie communication via complex protocols so close to direct interaction with the physical world for such a small energy cost, are really amazing for teaching, inspiring, and empowering otherwise "non-technical" people. Of course, you do have to be able to program, but I think we're making great strides in making that as easy as possible with things like CircuitPython and EduBlocks.
Also, this kind of shocked me:

Those cards are way too expensive to be lacking such a useful feature!
- sokoloff 4y agoIt seems likely that most existing deployments of 10Gbps cards are into a machine that has an alternative management card (which has no reason to be 10Gbps-capable). I don’t need to WoL via my 10Gbps card near as much as I need WoL on the management interface.
- NoraCodes 4y agoThat makes sense, I suppose! Maybe if/when 10Gbps becomes more popular with consumers such highly integrated cards will come onto the market.
- InvaderFizz 4y agoUnfortunately, at the current adoption rate, that will be sometime after 2040.
- secure 4y agoWe’re already starting to see 2.5 Gbps interfaces become more and more popular on mainboards, so I suspect once 10 Gbps interfaces become more common on high-end mainboards, vendors will start caring about WOL with these chips :)
