I've tried this on a Toshiba R500 with WOL enabled in the BIOS and

However the machine doesn't wake.
The R500 has an e1000g0 interface.

It had been previously shown that WOL on e1000g had worked via BIOS
enabled WOL, but it is possible that driver updates have caused it to
stop working (as is the case with bge). So, does the WOL tool you are
using wake that machine running any of the other OS's? Does the
sending machine have the MAC address in the ARP tables before trying
to wake, or is it sending a broadcast?
It does work once I sent it to the correct UDP port (I didn't have
anything listening on UDP port 9 initially).
I sent it from my Mac which probably didn't have the MAC address already
- I can retry and check. The tool is the one at [1] which by default
sends a broadcast packet.
