It 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.

That makes sense, I suppose! Maybe if/when 10Gbps becomes more popular with consumers such highly integrated cards will come onto the market.

Unfortunately, at the current adoption rate, that will be sometime after 2040.

We’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 :)
